Structure
Team-based challenges give students a chance to enhance the relevance of academic concepts by applying what they have learned. The activities:
- Offer an opportunity to explore and practice in a field of interest;
- Build knowledge about the education and training needed for a particular career path and entry into the industry; and
- Allow for teacher/employer interaction to support the challenge.
Format
Three formats deliver unique experiences to students and employers as the activities are organized through:
- Classroom preparation, including research on the industry and participating businesses;
- Employer orientation and support; and
- Reflection on the experience orally and in writing.
