PPI & The 74’s Future of High School Series:
Minnesota’s GAP School & State Policies to Support Youth Career Development
Tuesday, December 5th at 12:30 p.m. ET
Join us on Tuesday, December 5 at 12:30 p.m. EST for a one-hour Zoom webinar to learn about an innovative school model and bold state policies that support youth career learning and development in Minnesota.This webinar will focus on The Guadalupe Alternative Programs (GAP), a community-based middle and high school serving grades 7-12, and their work expanding career opportunities in residential construction for their students. Panelists will speak about the career opportunities for which this program is preparing students, and how the program provides much needed housing support for the community. Additionally, we’ll hear from state policymakers on how Minnesota’s new state policy is encouraging these career pathways and ways other states and the federal government could facilitate replication and scale.
This conversation is critically important as it will help inform the education reforms needed to ensure the U.S. education system adapts to meet current workforce needs, with a focus on programs that will lead to greater economic opportunity for our nation’s young people, and, in this instance, is tackling the lack of affordable housing
This webinar is in collaboration between PPI’s New Skills for a New Economy Project, Reinventing America’s Schools Project, and The 74.
