More than 188,000 students in Salt Lake and Tooele counties need opportunities to help them learn about careers and how to better apply what they learn in the classroom to the real world. Many of the 25,000 employers along the Wasatch Front are willing to help these students. Matching these work-based learning opportunities with students is a tremendous task. To better help coordinate these activities, we have implemented Pathfinder .
Pathfinder is the most advanced, on-line matching, placement and data management tool available.
It is an Internet-based program that links students, employers, teachers, and parents. Employers gain a single point of contact for the opportunities they want to provide. Educators are better able to manage student placement, employer contact information and work-based learning requests. Students are able to place requests for opportunities as well as list their resumes on-line. Parents can learn about and actively explore the work-based learning options available for their children.
