Mountain Desert Career Pathway (MDCP) supports Advisory efforts:
Facilitate meetings for all CTE Pathways (notes & agendas)
Collect RSVPs
Prepare necessary documents for grants.
"Advisories provide the opportunity for students, educators, and industry to align and benefit one another through discussion about how to build and sustain innovative programs, how to ensure educational content is on target with industry needs, and how other regional industry partners can align resources and provide solutions to common hurdles and barriers. Through collaboration between local colleges and K12, advisories also serve as the time to add and renew articulation agreements". (MDCP)
Industry connection and support. Robert Lovingood, former Supervisor for the First District of San Bernardino County (2012-2020), spoke at the 2021 High Desert Opportunity Summit.

Suggestions on how to build relationships and connections with LOCAL Industry Partnerships
Are we spending Grant funds with a local business? The CTE Office will help you reach out to those businesses and we’ll work together.
Do YOU have family and friends in the Industry? Call in a favor :)
Ask YOUR students. Your students might have parents, family, or friends in the industry. This could be the reason why they choose to take your course.
Knock on business doors; bring donuts.
If you were to tour a local business (field trip), where would you go? Ask them :)
Who are your Guest Speakers? Bring Industry into your classroom. Keep talking points and a few student notes and questions for evidence.
