Greetings West County!
I want to take a quick moment and say hello. My name is Stacy Fortin, I am the new Work-Based Learning (WBL) Coordinator with West County High School.
You may be asking, what is work-based learning? WBL is an instructional strategy that is essential in preparing students for success in postsecondary education and future careers. All WBL experiences involve interactions with industry or community professionals (you) that are linked to classroom instruction/curriculum.
There really is an abundance of employment and career opportunities for our youth in our county; I plan to facilitate internship opportunities, host guest speakers in our classrooms, and connect local industry professionals with our wonderful teachers to co-create classroom projects. In partnership with our community, I believe these opportunities can build momentum as we work together!
I look forward to meeting with you in person and discussing future collaborative opportunities for our students.
Kindly,
Stacy Fortin
Work-Based Learning Coordinator
