Educators will better understand and see firsthand how business and industry workplaces have changed as a result of this 2-day experience. Speakers from business and industry will provide information about their companies and what job opportunities and benefits they have to offer our students. A simulated training experience, input from business and industry, industry tours, and newly created industry connections will be taken back to the classroom and shared with students. This program provides teachers with more up-to-date information on training requirements and student options for careers. Educators get an opportunity to speak with industry leaders and to question them to learn about what skills our students need and what equipment is being used in the workplace. In other words, what do our students need to be successful in their current and future workplaces?
