ON TARGET Technically & Academically Ready for Global Employment in Technology

州公平社区学院、地区高中、三所大学和坚定的商业伙伴正在为了解技术职业机会并在学术上为这些职业成功做好准备的高中生和大专学生创造一条管道。该项目将从高中到大学的课程整合到工作场所，并提供合作伙伴开发的活动，以提高学生的知识技能。课程的重点是运用有效和战略性的教学方法，将所学的知识和技能与商业和工业的应用经验相结合，培养数学和沟通技能。该项目促进职业探索，使学生在技术职业领域做出明智的决定。课堂教师与商业和行业领袖在开发、实施和评估项目各个方面的合作，展示了这个项目的智力价值。科技正被用于创新地将商业和工业带入课堂体验，因此学生们正在将他们所学的知识与为什么以及如何在现实世界中使用这些知识联系起来。这一合作项目的广泛影响是，来自生活经验有限的农村地区的学生正在获得技术职业的经验基础，这将转化为一支强大、兴奋和有技术准备的劳动力队伍。

State Fair Community College, regional high schools, three universities, and committed business partners are creating a pipeline for high school and postsecondary students who possess an understanding of technical career opportunities and are academically prepared to be successful in those careers. This project aligns curriculum from high school through college into the workplace and provides partner-developed activities for improving students' knowledge-based skills. The focus is on building mathematics and communication skills using effective and strategic teaching methods that interweave acquired knowledge and skills with applied experiences in business and industry. The project promotes career exploration that results in students making informed decisions regarding technical career fields. The collaboration of classroom instructors and business and industry leaders in developing, implementing and assessing all aspects of the project demonstrates the intellectual merit of this project. Technology is being used to innovatively bring business and industry into classroom experiences so students are making connections between what they are learning and why and how it is being used in the real world. The broad impact of this partnership project is that students from rural areas with limited life experiences are acquiring an empirical foundation in technical careers that translates into a strong, excited and technically prepared workforce.
