When:
Where: One hour kick-off webinar followed by a range of industry site visits 
|
Educator in the Workforce (EIW) experiences raise awareness of in-demand careers and the knowledge and skills students need to thrive in them. Participants meet with professionals, at their workplaces, and hear the stories of their educational and career pathways. They learn about local companies, their products and services, and the variety of job opportunities available. We also engage with post-secondary institutions to better understand their connections with the workforce and how they prepare students and meet employer needs. Host businesses and schools are encouraged to offer immersive activities for participating educators to provide each with an opportunity to experience the featured careers. EIW experiences culminate in a debriefing session led by Consortium for Public Education staff. Participants have time to reflect and share, ask questions, and begin to think about ways they can incorporate their experiences and learnings into their schools and classrooms to better prepare students for their futures.
EIW opportunities for ABC CREATE LEADS participants include (educators do not need to visit all locations):

All site visit registrants are expected to attend this webinar on Zoom or watch a recording of the webinar before your first site visit.
