Findings from a survey of our employer and school partners from the second L&E cohort (2019-2020) were positive across the board. Here are a few quotes that capture the approval and appreciation for the program:
From our employer partners –
- “Increased interest and improvement in [student]perception towards manufacturing.”
- “Great to stay connected to our youth, learn from their perspective.”
- “This is a fantastic program. It gives our future generation the opportunity to feel, touch, and get a taste of the future. Fact – the future of our country depends on them.”
From our school partners –
- “I have greatly appreciated the interpersonal skills my students have learned from their OSHA course in our communications at the school.”
- ·“Introduction to working. Interacting with employers. Eye-opening to what jobs are available. OSHA 10 and college credit. Expanded their horizons”
- “Students have learned more about specific career fields, felt more informed about the choices they have which have moved some students to change their directions while others have sealed it and been offered jobs. In addition to the direct career content, all students show an increase in self-confidence, improve their professional skills, and many comments on it being a unique experience and a highlight of their high school career.”
