Description:
Each year, we host regional consortiums to hear updates from Lancaster County’s school districts and higher education institutions as a way to connect businesses with the stewards of tomorrow’s workforce. Join us to learn more about the strategies local schools and colleges are using to prepare the next generation of students for success in the workforce and in our community!
At the Northeast Consortium, you’ll hear about:
Elizabethtown College’s “educate for service” model and strategies for local career placement after graduation
Elizabethtown Area School District’s career pathways high school program
Hempfield School District’s career exploration software and specialized guidance counseling
As Pennsylvania’s population decreases, it has never been more imperative to attract and retain skilled talent in our workforce. Lancaster County is home to 17 school districts and 8 higher education institutions, all of whom are working hard to educate young people and inspire them to establish careers in our community. Sharing your input as business leaders is crucial as we strengthen the local workforce pipeline and ensure the next generation is prepared with the skills and education they need to be ready for today’s jobs!
