​This Event Is For Connecticut School Districts & Workforce Leaders*

​Join us for a virtual discussion with Connecticut school district leaders, workforce organizations, chambers of commerce, and employer partners on the future of work-based learning, internships, career readiness, and workforce development programs.

​We'll begin with a brief overview of how Starteryou is helping districts manage student placements, employer partnerships, hour tracking, and reporting. The remainder of the session will be an open conversation focused on the challenges and opportunities facing Connecticut's education and workforce ecosystem.

​As career-connected learning and workforce development initiatives continue to expand across the state, we're looking to learn directly from the educators, workforce leaders, and employers leading this work every day.
