Aligning Classroom Instruction with Industry Standards: Core Plus Instructor Training at Boeing
|
Each year,
The Boeing Company
partners with
OSPI
to host instructors from
Core Plus Aerospace
partner schools across the state for multi-day professional development workshops at its Everett or Renton facilities. The sessions serve to reinforce industry standards and basic skills required of entry-level manufacturing employees, provide project ideas that Core Plus Aerospace instructors can take back to the classroom, and offer a forum for instructors to share with and learn from one another. Boeing also benefits by hearing first-hand what’s happening in Core Plus classrooms and what resources and skills instructors are seeking.
