BestPrep is seeking volunteers to host a teacher at their workplace for a half day this summer. Volunteers, called Business Partners, are matched with attendees allowing them to witness the work environment they are preparing their students to enter. This first-hand glimpse into business and industry is crucial as teachers work to align their curriculum to address the skills employees are seeking when hiring.
“I thought the job shadow was a GREAT experience! I learned a lot and I got to see what the corporate world looks like.” – Teacher attendee at the 2013 Technology Integration Workshop
75 volunteers are needed; registration is easy!
The opportunity starts with lunch on Monday, July 28, 2014 from noon – 1:00 p.m. at the University of St. Thomas (Minneapolis campus) and the job shadow occurs on Tuesday, July 28, 2014 from 1:00 – 4:00 p.m. Have questions? Contact Katie Fontana at 763-233-6324 or kfontana@bestprep.org.
“It was a great opportunity to showcase what we do and how technology is a very important aspect of every industry. It was interesting to learn about how the educational system continues to evolve as well.” – Business Partner for the 2013 Technology Integration Workshop
