2. How has the business advisory council and its members supported students in work-based learning (internships,
apprenticeship and pre-apprenticeship) opportunities? (Career exploration activities such as job shadowing, mock
interviews and mentoring should not be included in data.)
In 2022-2023 the Business Advisory Council held a 3 part series to educate school leaders and business partners on
internships, apprenticeships, and preapprenticeships. Informing others of how to organize and support
apprenticeships was a pivotal step to exploring greater utilization of relationships, and utilization of local talent as
well as growing the number of students placed in work-based learning opportunities.
2023-2024
BAC members continued to collaborate with educators in an ongoing and intentional manner to ensure that
curriculum and quality practices align with industry needs, helping students acquire relevant skills. Regular
feedback from BAC members on emerging trends and skills requirements have helped shape the curriculum and
keep it up-to-date. Members have also served as mentors, offering guidance, career advice, and support to students,
helping them navigate their career paths.
2024-2025
The BAC has supported districts with new requirements for supporting students completing their OMJ Seal and
tracking completion of 250 work based hours. Students are being placed in career based placements locally, based
on input and feedback from the BAC as well from career interest and aptitude inventories, and locally reviewed data
sources. Each district operates its own process for completing the required hours. Districts propose their plans and
submits data monthly to the BAC for approval. Student voice is considered and included through focus groups,
surveys, and BAC meeting recognition.
