Extended Learning Opportunities

Welcome

Leveraging the power of community partnerships, Extended Learning Opportunities (ELOs) will engage, educate and empower students (future employees) to make informed career choices. We will ensure both business partners and students alike have access to the right experiences, in the right place, at the right time, executed by the right advisors.

This creates a win/win for our communities. To be prepared as the NH DOE states, “College and career ready means that students graduate from high school prepared to enter and succeed in postsecondary opportunities—whether college or career—without need for remediation.”

A summary of key strategic advantages include but are not limited to:

  • Building positive relationships through community partnerships

  • Educating the future workforce in a real world setting

  • Provides greater flexibility to customize and contribute to student learning
