Educator Experiences
Educator Enrichment
We believe educator enrichment helps educators and youth succeed in the classroom and beyond. To support educators' daily work to develop the next generation, we provide resources, connections, and opportunities for industry experiences.
Experiences & Resources
Each month during the school year, educators receive updates about events and opportunities. Some events require educators to register full or partial classrooms. Be sure to join this mailing list to get first dibs!
Request a Classroom Visitor
Are you looking for support with planning a classroom visit from industry or business professionals? Would you like our staff to meet with youth to share more about our programs? We're excited to learn how we can help! We ask that you allow at least two weeks of lead time before an event.
Events for Students - Educators must register their class
Hiring Fair
