Network and Learn with Your Peers
This Ford NGL U Circle is the place to be for district and employer partnership directors.
There is a specific role to overseeing the coordination between schools and employer partners. This role is much different than a pathway or academy specific coach (e.g. sector coach, academy coach). In some communities this role is called a business engagement coordinator or strategic partnership director.
This Ford NGL U Circle is geared towards those directors, managers, and/or coordinators that oversee the employer engagement and school partnerships at the district or community level.
