Ohio CTE Innovation and Impact Conference 2022

As the construction industry braces for a significant shortfall of talent, what is being done
to prepare tomorrow's leaders for the opportunities that lie ahead? Coming down the pipeline of tomorrow's economy are students who are striving for a successful career. There is inter-connectivity between our students, teachers, resources, and companies that are hiring.

This session will provide attendees with some best practices of what educators around the state are doing to prepare their students for the career opportunities from our industry. Learning objectives for this session include: how to engage industry in the classroom, educational resources that are available to assure that students are being taught the skills needed to succeed, examples of industry partnerships that are already working well for K-12, and opportunities for students to get a jumpstart on their construction training while still in
school.
