“This week we teamed up with Meili Construction to host a group of local teachers and educators at the PIVOT office as part of the “Oh, the Places You Can Go: Industry for Educators” series, hosted by Mary Leighton, PhD.
This 3-month series is designed to inform educators of different career paths available to their students, and provide them with a deeper understanding of our local economy. Our presentation gave insight into the AEC Industry and the role PIVOT and Meili play in the community, including our work with industry and community connected learning. Other industries these educators will learn about include healthcare, transportation, marketing, and more.
Working with educators is one of the most rewarding aspects of the work we do here at PIVOT. We were honored to participate in this series and help these educators make connections between their role in public education and local industries.
