Designated Approver’s Weekly Update – January 10, 2022

By Melissa Paloma | Project Manager

Weekly Action Items

  • Share our event flyer for students and their families: Family Engagement Event on 1/19.
  • Prepare the student list for WBL Curriculum (if doing it within a class or advisory setting).
  • Do not send students to create profiles (our HUB is still being updated, we will give you an update at our DA meeting tomorrow!)

We are looking forward to “seeing” you all tomorrow at the DA meeting from 4:00 – 5:30 PM! We will have an update on the HUB. There are some exciting changes! Also, we will have time to  review and discuss the WBL curriculum and some of its lessons. 

We look forward to seeing you there! 

As a reminder: If you have not already, work with your CW point person to get a pitch date on the calendar! We are looking to have a list of students who are fully interested by the start of next semester. We currently have a list of 300 interested students who have filled out an interest form after our pitches, so we really hope to grow that list!

As a reminder, Accenture will be virtual for the remainder of the week. 


Updates

Recruitment
In your conversations, let your point person know about your interest in the WBL Curriculum & prepare a list of interested students who would be scheduled for a class or advisory session.

As a reminder: all interested students for the class or the program be vaccinated or willing to be vaccinated by the start of their apprenticeship since employers will require vaccination.

Here is the link to our resources folder. We recently added parent letters that have been translated in Arabic, Bengali , French, and Spanish.

Training
There is an Apprentice training on 3/9 for cohort 3 apprentices, scheduled during their working hours.

Cohort 2 (Seniors) Apprentices
By the end of January all apprentices will have performance evaluations completed. Also, our employer team will be surveying and having 1-1 meetings with the apprentices about their college plans. Any questions about what data we collect, please let us know. 

All cohort 2 apprentices should ideally be available to work 1-5pm, Monday-Thursday!  If they are scheduled for a 2pm start time and a 1pm release from school, please do keep that schedule. To view Cohort 2 Employer Schedules, click here
