SkillUp is enabling America's furloughed and laid off workers to move forward, upskill or retrain, and secure jobs that are in demand. https://t.co/X36aXulGt0

Thinking about students for whom #highered life is a haven ... & the repercussions for low-income students who lack access to technology, food, even shelter. Hope these kinds of resources to support #realcollege students will multiply & be shared far/wide: https://t.co/ixmMUtIoh0

Day 2 recap of #BLFP19– we should add “game show host” to @jason_tyszko title. After a day of learning about #TPM, the Fellows competed in a game to review the workforce development solution by business, for business. @USCCFeducation

[Haley Ast @ast_haley]

@QuentinSuffren joined us again to share about #CTE and credentials of value. Main takeaways? CTE doesn’t end in HS hallways and all innovation and implementation is local. @USCCFeducation #BLFP19

[Haley Ast @ast_haley]

The Business Leads Fellows generously shared fun relics from their hometowns! As a proud Arizonan, I was beyond excited to sport my new #Tucson #AZ lapel pin today! 🌵Hawaiian chocolate, The Office swag, and AZ love—does it get any better?! #BLFP19

[Haley Ast @ast_haley]

Loved learning about the positive impact that business/education partnerships have on a local level by creating opportunity for all students. Huge thanks to @YouthForceNOLA and @NAFCareerAcads @nyctiffanys for sharing the amazing work you are doing! @USCCFeducation #blfp19

@QuentinSuffren generously joined us again to talk about #CTE and credentials of value. Main takeaways? CTE doesn’t end in HS hallways and all innovation is local. @USCCFeducation (the discussion was 1M times better than this subpar picture quality)

[Haley Ast @ast_haley]

Today, we kicked off Cohort 3 Meeting 2 of #BLFP19 in the Big Easy! The Fellows have been hard at work in their communities and this week we dig into #CTE, #TPM, #postsec, and prison reentry. Workforce development goes great with beignets! @USCCFeducation

[Haley Ast @ast_haley]

Cool dive into how the NSA is finding its future workforce through valuable internships for high schoolers. Exposing students to what a #STEM career can look like and focusing on how the career can help others is key! https://t.co/CGGue7fCtt

[Haley Ast @ast_haley]

@westfall104 teaches the Fellows about #TPM at #BLFP19. We are having a great conversation about how the Fellows can partner with other chambers and orgs in their communities to do this work

[Haley Ast @ast_haley]

Great to hear about all of the work that #BLFP19 Cohort 2 has done since our last meeting in April—from starting early Ed and workdev committees, creating work-based learning programs and getting more involved in school boards. Inspired by these leaders! @USCCFeducation

[Kevin Courtois @Kevin_Courtois]

.@ast_haley kicking off session 2 of @USCCFoundation Business Leads Fellowship Program. Excited to be back with this group of chamber leaders dedicated to addressing our workforce challenges. #BLFP19

[Jennifer Bell-Ellwanger @jennbellell]

Longitudinal data made it possible for @ExcelinEd to examine how #credentials benefit students after #K12 in Florida, Indiana, and Kentucky! Findings in their new report: https://t.co/e5rtNLSOaN

[Haley Ast @ast_haley]

Great example of how chambers and businesses are partnering with schools to expose students to career pathways available in their communities! Excited to learn from @KyChamber's success with this initiative!

[Travis Taylor Burton @TravisTBurton]

The @KyChamber @KyWorkforce Center is launching #Bus2Biz day this fall! Sending students straight to businesses to highlight opportunities! https://t.co/qZme60iG1B
Check out video featuring Taylor Co @JAGkentucky students! https://t.co/tjkzKPeWEN

[Haley Ast @ast_haley]

Show me the data! We are diving into the importance of using data as a flashlight instead of a hammer. The Fellows discuss their data scavenger hunts and how easy or hard it was to find their state and district data #BLFP19 @USCCFeducation

[Haley Ast @ast_haley]

Thanks for joining us, Matt! Such a fun and informative panel learning more about how schools across the country have used personalized learning to help close the achievement gap and help every student succeed. #BLFP19 @USCCFeducation

[Haley Ast @ast_haley]

What an enlightening trip to Summit Prep to see personalized learning in action. PL tailors lessons to the needs of the student, supports self-directed learning, and instills SEL skills needed in the 21st century @USCCFeducation #BLFP19

[Haley Ast @ast_haley]

To help inform where we are going, we must know about where we have been and how we got here today. We kicked off day 2 of #BLFP19 with a recap of the history of #edreform @USCCFeducation

[Adam P. Forrand @Adam4and]

Day 1 of @USCCFoundation + @USCCFeducation ‘s Business Leads Fellowship Program. Honored to be here and excited to work on strategies & tactics with peers from across the U.S. #BLFP19 #SuccessLearnsHere

[Haley Ast @ast_haley]

Cohort 3 is under way and getting to know each other with icebreakers. Our favorite? “What was your first job?” Wild to see how the world of work has evolved and how many jobs are no longer around. How do we prepare today’s students for the same? #BLFP19 @USCCFeducation

[Haley Ast @ast_haley]

Counting down the days until we launch Cohort 3 of the Business Leads Fellowship Program in Burlingame, CA. Excited for 33 new Fellows to join our national network spanning 43 states in just 13 days! #BLFP19 @USCCFeducation
