FEEDBACK FROM THE EDUCATORS
“This was a great experience and I have already told others in my building to look for it next year. I am so glad I took this course, and I agree with Debbie Stith, this should be embedded into the CTE curriculum for new CTE teachers.”
“This bootcamp was an amazing experience! I gained valuable knowledge and ideas on how to expand on our current pathways, as well as partnerships to best support our students in providing meaningful experiences to better enhance their educational journey.”
FEEDBACK FROM THE BUSINESSES
“I loved seeing how excited the teachers were to do the activities we shared in their classroom. Many of the teachers mentioned that they did not know about specific roles in tech so I’m glad we were able to share those with them”.
“Teachers really did not know what manufacturing had to offer their students or that we were so willing to partner with them”.
Our gracious 2023 corporate partners included CGI, EasyIT, Fluvitex, Kokosing, OhioHealth, The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, and Worthington Industries. Corporate partners benefit greatly from participating in this program as it allows them to strengthen and cultivate their future talent pipelines.
