Work Opportunities
"The model of a company hiring an employee for many years and investing in their training is changing. The new technology employee is taking more responsibility for their own professional development and career management."

Real-world experience and employment strategies give students the advantage in the marketplace. Networking Academies have adopted both workplace learning opportunities for students and developed job placement programs.

Workplace Learning can mean the difference between passing a test and being able to do the work. It removes the student from the controlled classroom or lab environment so they can experience a live production. Activities can include a field trip, job shadowing, internships, or apprenticeships.

The focus of vocational training for underserved populations is generally economic improvement either through college or employment. Much of the grant funding for these populations measures success by job placement. Our Networking Academies agree that this is currently the greatest challenge for them.
