Description: This flock hatched some great ideas about creating and sustaining community connections in pursuit of life and workforce readiness for students. When we met for our initial collaboration, the team identified three major pursuits in terms of community connections and workforce preparedness: How to establish and nurture community connections, how to align curriculum and career pathways, and how to measure the soft skills of workforce preparedness. Please feel free to join our roost to network and share ideas and experiences around these topics even if you did not get to participate on October 7th.
