Mountain Region Work-Based Learning Thought Leadership Group
This Event Is For High Schools*
Join district leaders from across the Mountain Region for a virtual conversation on the future of work-based learning, internships, career readiness, and workforce development.
This will be a peer discussion focused on how districts are building, managing, and expanding work-based learning opportunities for high school students.
We'll begin with a brief overview of how Starteryou is helping districts manage student placements, employer partnerships, hour tracking, compliance, and reporting. The majority of the session will be an open conversation where district leaders can share what is working, where they are facing challenges, and what they see changing in the years ahead.
We're bringing together leaders from across the region to compare approaches, share ideas, and identify opportunities to strengthen work-based learning programs.
