SXSW 2024
Fostering Systematic Support for Teen’s Real World Learning
Description:
How to foster systematic support for work-based learning, starting as early as middle school— which could take the form of job-shadowing, apprenticeship or internship program — is one of the best ways in which to help kids understand their own personal interests and passions and how those connect with their abilities, test and try what they might like (as well as what they don’t), network with career professionals, and build a workplace identity.
