Is there anything better than spending the day with counselors? This week our team was in Denver with school counselor corps grantees talking ICAP, blurring counseling domains- social emotional, academic and career & exploring work based learning and other interventions
Some of the things we heard:
-How do we get to career advising when we have students not getting basic needs met?
-How do our counselors connect better with CTE teams to get exposed to trends in the labor market?
-How do we address barriers to accessing work based learning?
-How do we know we’re reaching students that need in school career development the most?
-How do we start career interventions earlier so that students see themselves in top jobs?
And what are they already doing?
-Bringing employers in as a partner in planning WBL
-Connecting student interests with their academic and career goals
-Bringing parents and families into the conversation
Sounds like a great time!
