CHAMBER EDC HOSTS EDUCATOR EXPERIENCE

Throughout several of the Chamber EDC’s workforce development efforts there is an emphasis placed on connecting Bismarck-Mandan’s education community and business community. This is done to help educate our educators on the occupation opportunities available in the community with the idea that the educators take that information back into their classrooms and pass it along to their students. To assist in accomplishing this the Chamber EDC hosts one of its premier workforce development programs, Educator Experience.

This year’s Educator Experience was held the week of June 19-23. Educator Experience, or E2, is eight half-day sessions with each session focused on an industry in Bismarck-Mandan. The sessions are traditionally hosted at a business within the industry and presenters explain occupations within the industry with an emphasis on education requirements, skill sets needed, and wage/salary expectations.
