Resources

Prior meetings, sessions, and convenings have identified the need for these resources. Future Cradle to Career Convenings will seek to identify others, and work to develop and support these:

A Business-Education "translator" or Lexicon: many stakeholders have identified frustrations with understanding the language of education, business, and industry. 

Professional Development / Learning Opportunities: workshops and sessions are necessary to assist the region with greater understanding of 'what and how to implement' work-based learning, school requirements, and more.

Speakers Bureau and Classroom Speaking Training: developing a resource for schools of trained speakers who can assist with school career awareness and preparation needs.

Networking: ongoing networking opportunities for schools and businesses to connect and share offerings.

Community Sessions: creating and promoting a series of community awareness sessions for families, and the community at large about the true workforce needs, and techniques and tactics for effective career exploration.
