The SINE Learning Exchange is a school-to-work program designed to foster relationships between businesses, educators and students. While demonstrating the applicability of education to the business world, youth are exposed to real-life workplace experience.
Description:
The Learning Exchange is open to teachers of grades 6th-12th and is a minimum three-day process:
- The teacher visits the workplace to discuss classroom project with the business representative.
- The class goes on a field trip to see the worksite.
- The business representative visits the classroom to engage with students during the project, and/or to discuss career opportunities within their organization.
Over 200 educators and business partners have joined the Learning Exchange and several have taken advantage of mini-grants for projects that will take student awareness of the relationship between classroom learning and the demands of the workplace to a higher level.
