We are having an event on 12/15 to engage with students and provide them the opportunity to ask current apprentices questions. Please share that event information out to students and their families! Also, feel free to use the pre-recorded video to send out to families and students. Here is the link to view the video.

Overall, the Ed team is excited to begin pitch and pitching in person! Work with your Ed team point person to get a pitch date on the calendar. We are looking forward to pitching and engaging with students about the CareerWise program.


Updates

Recruitment

Your CWNY point person will work with you to implement and begin recruitment at your school. In the conversations, let your point person know about your interest in the WBL Curriculum. We will ask that all interested students for the class or the program be vaccinated or willing to be vaccinated by the start of their apprenticeship since most employers will require vaccination. This is the general rule the Ed team is providing in order to not have different policies from employers become overwhelming for you all.

As a reminder a recruitment pitch to the resources folder. Here is the link to the video and the resources folder.

What to look forward to: in-person pitching, employer engagement events, and our WBL- curriculum that will be released for the Spring semester!
