Employer Involvement
Getting industry volunteers into the classroom is important for student learning but can be logistically difficult. To make this process easier, the CACT CTE Hub grant created a free, online tool that connects volunteers with teachers. Implemented last year with the Silicon Valley Engineers Council volunteer program (500 teachers / volunteers, 7000 students), come find out how it works, and discover how you can download the software for your organization.
