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:
Lancaster County’s Career and Technology Center (CTC) strategy for preparing high school students and adults for skilled, productive careers in high-demand, local industries.
Ephrata Area School District’s career and college planning for high school students
Eastern Lancaster County School District (ELANCO)’s project based curriculum and business-education partnerships
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!
