Infusing Industry Into The Classroom & Creating A Bridge toPlans After High School
Monday July 21, 2025 1:00pm - 1:50pm CDT
I want to give educators an overview of what my role is as a career coach and how I can help assist students with plans after high school. This can be done through resume workshops, mock interviews, and 1 on 1 sessions to link students with community contacts we have created in our role. It often creates a reachable goal for a student and can sometimes spark motivation that wasn't there prior.

I also want to highlight the different ways that we can infuse industry contacts from the community into what is being taught in the classroom through guest speakers and field trips. Exposing students to industry professionals I often find it creates links to the content that are valuable in fostering engagement with the material being used.

The True Colors framework provides an intriguing perspective on the interplay between education and various personality types, shedding light on the distinct ways individuals connect with learning. Acknowledging and catering to the specific learning styles of each student is crucial for enhancing engagement and reducing feelings of alienation and apathy. Educators, coaches, and administrators can leverage tools like True Colors to gain insights into their own personality traits, as well as those of their students and colleagues. This awareness empowers them to tailor lessons and teaching strategies to better accommodate the diverse needs of their learners.
