Peoria Unified School District and Center for the Future of Arizona partnered for a federal grant challenge on Work-Based Learning in construction. Advancing to phase II unlocked resources and examples from other states. Our challenge was securing under-18 opportunities on construction sites. Our solution; an innovative internship course bringing employers to the classroom. This pre-apprenticeship model prepares students for construction apprenticeships. Join our session to explore how this innovative programming could reshape construction education and bridge the education to industry gap.
