BAC Sector/School Spotlights

At each of our BAC meetings, a fundamental objective has been to highlight the successful collaboration between our schools, local businesses, and other BAC partners. These meetings were typically scheduled from 8:30 to 9:45 and followed a structured agenda that allowed time for sharing insights and accomplishments. This sharing was facilitated by either the Director of Workforce Development, a representative from a school district, or a delegate from one of our partner businesses, community-based organizations, or higher education institutions.

During our December meeting, we organized a special event to provide a formal platform for spotlighting two significant BAC activities—one aimed at educators and the other at students. Our assistant superintendent was invited to facilitate two consecutive panel discussions. Panelists were invited to our facility to participate in these discussions, with a few members attending in person and the majority joining via Zoom video conference. This hybrid approach allowed us to record the event and share it with members who couldn't attend in person.

The two panel discussions featured in our agenda were as follows:

1. 1. Student Panel - Cleveland Clinic Avon Hospital Student Experience

      1. Presentation Overview 

1. 2. Educator/Business Panel - Exploring Real-World Student Skills: 2-Day Educator Externship

The practice of providing dedicated time and space for members to share their successes and collaborations has consistently proven to be a valuable and enriching activity during our BAC meetings.
