How Can Classroom-Workplace Collaboration Prepare the Future Professionals?
There’s no denying that with the introduction of smart classes and interactive learning, it has become easier for students to learn. In fact, now students can find the necessary assignment help on the internet. But when it comes to preparing students for tomorrow’s professional world, it is the classroom-workplace collaboration that makes the biggest impact. Here are some of the major initiatives of recent time that prove the worth of the collaboration.
JCPS Apprenticeship Program:
The Jefferson County Public Schools (JCPS) students now have the opportunities to get handson experiences in a number of district-level jobs as apprentices. Superintendent Dr. Marty Pollio stated in his speech that students would be offered apprenticeships at JCPS throughout the school year as they keep up with their studies in core classes as well as in their chosen career pathways. In fact, students may earn school credit for their work. It means students may take rest from their role of assignment maker for some time to focus on other skill sets.
IBM’s collaboration with UofL:
The University of Louisville (UofL) is building an IBM Skills Academy on its Belknap campus this fall to stress more on data science learning. From the beginning of the '19 semester, UofL will provide online Distilled Spirits Business Certificate for graduate students who are taught by the industry experts as well as the UofL faculty. It means, if a student needs marketing assignment help, they can now go to two different people in the institute.
KentuckianaWorks’ Tech Louisville:
The Workforce Development Board for Jefferson and seven surrounding counties, KentuckianaWorks kick starts Tech Louisville program that offers free training in software coding and has more than 1000 graduates since 2013. According to the executive director of KentuckianaWorks, this program merges hardware and security certification. The program is funded by an AdvancingCities grant from JPMorgan Chase, with the goal to prepare 300 adults for entry-level IT jobs in the next three years.
Spalding writing program:
This fall, Spalding University is introducing its first writing school in the state of Kentucky. It is named the School of Creative and Professional Writing. Interestingly, it is going to offer a master's degree in writing. This professional program will allow the students to concentrate on workplace writing within the career path they have chosen. Interestingly, the master of writing in the arts program at Spalding also allows students to gain expertise in a number of sought-after soft skills such as critical thinking, communication and creativity.
Come to think of it, this is only the beginning. With more such collaborated efforts from education institutes and businesses will help build the workforce for tomorrow in a more definite way.
