Co-principal, Heather Lansing and Work Based Learning Coordinator, Joan Rogers welcoming business partners.
Last month, more than 80 area business people attended the Consultant Committee breakfast at the Columbia-Greene Education Center (CGEC) in Hudson to discuss curriculum and work-based learning opportunities for Career and Technical Education (CTE) students.
Co-principal, Heather Lansing and Work Based Learning Coordinator, Joan Rogers welcomed business partners at a breakfast provided by Questar III’s Culinary Arts students before breaking off into committee meetings.
Questar III Work Based Learning Coordinator, Joan Rogers speaks to Welding Committee members about work-based learning opportunities for CTE students.
Rogers said successful CTE programs are the result of collaborative efforts with business partners.
“Consultant Committees keep faculty apprised of business and industry needs, provide educational opportunities for students including field trips, guest speakers, job shadows and/or internships, and assist Questar III in planning and implementing relevant CTE programs.”
These business members include local business owners, parents, directors of chambers of commerce, community college and university instructors ranging from programs in aviation to welding.
