success and mitigate challenges in implementing and monitoring career advising activities and outcomes
critical to long-term sustainability.

Kent State Alternative Licensure Partnership
Through Business Advisory Council membership with higher ed partners area educators are afforded the
opportunity to join cohorts for advanced professional development. The Kent State Alternative Licensure
Partnership provides for educators on an alternative license to transition to a 5 year professional license
through a cohort module. This collaborative opportunity kicked on in FY 25 with an initial meeting with
interested stakeholders in August of 2024.
4AI Summit
The BAC understands that educators need to be apprised of changes in the technological landscape and the
careers in the tech field. The BAC was heavily involved in the planning, sponsoring, and orchestration of a
cross county 4AI Summit. Information regarding the summit and session topics can be found here.
Unlocking the Code PD
Event created in partnership between the BAC, Partners in Excellence Science (PSE), & Alliance for Working Together
(AWT) collaboration with Swagelok.
This professional development program introduces K-8 teachers to the foundational concepts of binary code through
a fun, hands-on activity. Participants will learn how binary code, the language of computers, uses 0s and 1s to
represent information. They'll translate letters and numbers into binary and then use colored beads to create
keychains and bracelets that visually represent these codes.
This workshop provides educators with a creative and engaging method to teach binary basics and computational
thinking, and even introduce coding concepts in an age-appropriate way across various subjects like math, science,
and language arts. Teachers will be equipped with a ready-to-use activity and the knowledge to adapt it to different
grade levels and learning objectives.
