Educators
Students start off the year with an Employer kickoff. They continue the year with soft skills training, industry-specific training, tours and real interviews that will lead the students to pathways such as full-time employment, short-term training, apprenticeships or an associate degree. At the end of the year, we celebrate that our high school graduates are “ready to work”.
