Why We & Externships
Workforce Preparedness Conference Group A 8:00 Session
Share
Today it is more critical than ever that our educators know the workforce that our Chief Executives and Managers are needing to be successful. Business leaders need to have input into courses and curriculum and understand how partnering with educators is an investment in their business. The session outlines the benefits and outcomes of business and education and “why we” can make a significant impact of the ever changing economy in Central Texas through collaboration. This session also covers teacher externships: In Summer 2016, the Texas Workforce Commission funded 17 Central Texas middle-school and high-school teachers to go into the workplace to learn about “Real World” workplace skills. Learn about the project, the businesses involved, and what the teachers learned about integrating workplace skills into their classrooms every day. Hear more detailed information in the Best Practices--Externship Follow-Up sessions in the afternoon as the teacher and the business mentor present their experiences.
