***COMING SOON***
Leadership Academy 2022 - "How It's Made"
June 8 and June 15
Educational Workplace Tours
Registration for Leadership Academy is NOW OPEN on Frontline
Seating is VERY LIMITED
ACT QUICKLY
Seats are open to all educational staff - leadership is encouraged to attend.
This year, we’ll be exploring “How it’s Made” and touring manufacturing sites (some are really secure – so we’ll be asking for Passport ID!).
We'll be holding sessions on both days about unpacking Pre-apprenticeship and Work-Based Learning; with Act 158 now permitting Preapprenticeship Certification as an Alternative Pathway Credential – suitable for HS graduation, we want to help bring better understanding about what it is, and how to get students actively interested and involved.
Please note the costs to participate for PCD consortium schools, and non-consortium schools. This is one activity that is open to ALL – but seating is VERY limited. Please act quickly!
Registration is open on Frontline, but fees are collected separately through either PayPal (QR code below) or by invoice request.
PCD Graciously Thanks its 2022 Event Sponsors
ABOUT PCD
The Partnership For Career Development (PCD) is a business-education-partnership intermediary located in the Capital Region of Pennsylvania. PCD’s experience and expertise is concentrated in the field of Career & Workforce Readiness. PCD works under a fee-for-service model providing schools and school districts in South Central Pennsylvania with resources, programs, events and initiatives surrounding career exploration and development. In addition, PCD provides multi-level consulting at county, state and national level for businesses, organizations and individuals.
With 25 years of experience in developing programs, initiatives, studying and researching relevant labor market data, consulting and meeting with relevant stakeholders from business, education, and community, PCD is recognized in Pennsylvania by state agencies as a leader and best practice in this work.
PCD’s unique collaborative model provides regional schools with consortiums to share resources and work cooperatively. As an intermediary, PCD is able to provide efficiencies for regional businesses and organizations, creating career exploration programs and initiatives that allow students to participate from dozens of schools at one location. This helps to alleviate “employer fatigue,” as identified in PA, resulting from many schools calling on the same businesses for support. PCD’s model allows for the braiding of funds, and utilizing economies of scale, and the leveraging of local, regional, state and national partnerships, permitting PCD to act as a conduit for access & equity of resources & programs.
PCD Tenets
- Work-based Learning / Career Mentoring as the “gold standard”
- Alignment of interests with market needs
