Transforming a Traditional Stakeholder Meeting into a Work-Based Learning Engagement Experience
Tuesday, July 21 · 10:45 AM – 11:30 AM · Lilac
Stakeholder meetings don’t have to be routine! This session highlights how Ohio Hi-Point reimagined a standard advisory meeting into an interactive Work-Based Learning (WBL) celebration and education experience. Learn how we redesigned our fall professional development day to invite business partners on campus, showcase facilities, host panel presentations, and provide clear pathways for becoming WBL partners. Learn about some of the events hosted by our WBL Coordinators including reverse career fairs, special speaker series, and recognition ceremonies. Participants will also learn how OHP’s ASPIRE Champions Scholarship Fund transforms WBL partners into long-term champions, allowing businesses to invest in students who go directly into their career field, helping to shape the future workforce in their communities.
Leveraging School-Based Enterprises for Work-Based Learning
Tuesday, July 21 · 1:30 PM – 2:15 PM · Columbus
School-based enterprises can serve as structured, high-impact work-based learning experiences within career-technical programs. Learn how Ohio Hi-Point operates student-run businesses, and hear from teachers who lead enterprises such as The Nest coffee shop and MIBN broadcasting studio to provide real-world learning directly connected to students’ career pathways. This model expands access to WBL opportunities, especially within OHP's satellite programs at our partner districts. Walk away with practical ideas to create hands-on experiences that deliver a career-ready education.
