Multi-Billion Dollar Companies Have Endorsed The Career Skills Certificates – Why? And, How Do I Use This In My Classroom?
Did you know multi-billion dollar international companies, regional and local employers, and industry associations all over Utah (and the country) have endorsed the Career Skills Certificate program – and more companies are endorsing every day! This is direct Industry Recognition for your programs. This is powerful information that changes learning! Together, we’ll learn best practices on 1) how to engage local industry partners (big or small) in a very easy, sustainable, and practical way to get their endorsement for your program; 2) How to positively influence school and district administrators, parents, and communities to support your programs; and, 3) How to better engage your students by strengthening the relationship between their learning, your programs, and industry needs.
