As research shows, as we engage students in conversations and opportunities to learn more about their skills, aptitudes and career passions we find that they are more prepared to graduate from high school, move on to post-secondary training of some sort, and are better prepared mentally and emotionally for life. By introducing students to careers earlier in their schooling, we are providing them with more options and understanding of the world of work and how their career passions can be attained. The Iowa Meaningful Career Conversations training is a step in the right direction to support students in our PK-20 system.
We are thrilled to announce that nine training sessions have been scheduled and the registration form is now live. The sessions are listed on the flyers below and the time of the training is either 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. or 1:00 to 5:00 p.m.
