WCPSS School-to-Career Initiative Traveled North to Wisconsin

Megan Kirkpatrick, Business Alliance Coordinator, and Chris Droessler, School-to-Career Coordinator, recently did three different presentations at the 21st Annual National Careers Conference: Building Futures That Work in Madison, Wisconsin, on January 29, 2007. This conference is the "premier national conference focusing on all aspects of career development and education for work." Wake County's standing-room only presentations were well received by the other conference attendees.

The Wake County topics were:

• The Invaluable Partnership of Business & Education: Preparing the Next Generation of Productive Citizens
  
• Your Future is Your Decision: Teaching Students the Direct Connection Between the Law and Future Opportunities
  
• Using Current Career Data to Help Students Prepare for Careers that Will Be in Demand
  

Not only did Megan and Chris present, they also went to many marvelous sessions that were conducted by educators and other professionals from around the country.

Megan and Chris agree that this conference was the most fruitful of any they have attended. The information gathered at this conference will surely improve the quality of our world-renowned School-to-Career program.
