Industry site visits provide an opportunity for students to explore a particular industry worksite. These trips are typically connected to an area of study or set of standards that students are learning about, providing context and on the-ground knowledge of how that is applied within the workplace.
They also provide general information about the various kinds of jobs and careers that students can pursue in the future as well as experience what it feels like to be in a professional setting.
Visits are often lead by a representative of the company and provide an interactive way to engage students depending on their grade levels.
General Expectations
- Student tour of facility
- Industry panel of experts (prefer individuals that fit our school/student demographic)
