Educator in the Workforce (EIW) immerses educators—teachers, counselors, and school leaders—into local workplaces to gain first-hand knowledge about the region’s key industries, employers, and career pathways.
Through site visits and interactions with business leaders, educators learn:
- What jobs are in demand in our region
- The skills employers are seeking
- How classroom content connects to real-world careers
Not only does this experience benefit educators and students, it also supports employers who are eager to connect with the next generation of workers and showcase their industry.
As one local high school teacher shared:
“After 26 years of teaching, this is one of the few PD experiences that truly impacted my teaching and benefited my students. Every EIW event has directly connected to my curriculum and helped me better guide students toward real career opportunities.”
