The Mid-Del Career Connection was formed in order to close the gap between what is taught in school and what is required at work. The Career Connection Advisory Committee is comprised of community members, parents, students, business partners and educators. Goals and objectives were then set at the elementary, junior high, and high school levels. The Advisory Council designed a systemically aligned model which provides organized activities that guide ALL students through their education and Career Preparation Journeys. The Mid-Del Career Connection includes awareness and outreach to ensure that ALL students are served equally.
All students explore career clusters based upon their developing interests and abilities.
Local businesses and industries have hosted teams of teacher interns which has resulted in changing student educational programs and curricula to better prepare students to enter the workplace. Business partners have led professional development seminars and have helped develop curriculum, benchmark assessments, and exit exams. The Results Mid-Del Career Connection offers a wide variety of interrelated activities to support each individual students goals and dreams for their future. Reduced copies of posters are given to all students. Work ethics are discussed daily in all classrooms.
