Leaders from school districts, career and technology centers, local and regional businesses, chambers of commerce, workforce development, and municipal representatives gathered at the Lancaster County Career and Technology Center (LCCTC) on June 12. This diverse group met to collaborate on methods to connect and build career pathways to ultimately produce a workforce that is fully prepared and trained to meet the needs of the business community.
A career pathway program provides students the information and experience to find and pursue opportunities that merge with their strengths and interests. The workshop at the LCCTC convened to build the first stages of such an overall collaboration between education and business.
Business and education leaders attending came away from the session having developed an initial vision of a career pathway system for Lancaster County, including next steps for organizing, planning, and action.
