In this webinar, we'll explore how critical it is to make CTE and WBL programs accessible for ALL students. Students such as those on IEP or 504 plans, who are English language learners, or who may have been a part of the juvenile system, all have unique needs. We’ll discuss strategies that educators and business partners are using to help them achieve their post-secondary goals.

From providing equitable career exploration to delivering equitable work-based learning (WBL), as well as making CTE pathways accessible and training staff and teachers to be equitable, you’ll walk away from each of these webinars with actionable insights.

Helping Students Graduate Ready

Scaling Work-Based Learning

Helping Students Graduate Ready

Join us to discuss the mission of going beyond college and career readiness to make sure students are ready no matter what the next steps are. At eDynamic Learning and Transeo, we are on a mission to help support educators and enable students to discover their skills, passion, and purpose. As part of this mission we are working with educators that are thinking beyond college and career readiness and, instead, helping their students consider what their desired career pathway requires. This can help students gain more focus to see a connection between school and a career. 

Join us to hear from a panel of passionate educators as we discuss the many ways they are helping students become ready for each student’s unique post-secondary path:

  • Industry certifications
  • Apprenticeship exploration 
  • Internship experience
  • Workplace readiness
  • Associate degree preparation
  • Bachelor’s degree preparation 

Attend this session and you will walk away with practical insights into how educators are implementing programs and broadening the scope of what post-secondary success looks like for their students.

Scaling and Optimizing Work-Based Learning

Building a Robust Work-Based Learning Program

Scaling and Optimizing Work-Based Learning

Does your school or district offer work-based learning (WBL)? Are you looking to increase student participation in your WBL programs? Are you finding it challenging to build, scale and optimize your program?

In this webinar, join expert panelists Kara Pontius (Jobs Implementer at Transeo), Val Garcia (Chicago Public Schools), and Halee Porter (Northside High School in Houston). They will provide examples and inspiration across the WBL continuum, including:

  • Awareness, such as speakers, informational interviews, career fairs and classroom resources
  • Exploration, such as business tours, job shadowing, mentorship and curriculum designed to give introductory career insight
  • Workplace learning, such as internships, on the job training, client-connected projects and soft skills development

Attend this session to gain a deeper understanding of how educators are innovating to scale and optimize their work-based learning programs.
