Business Tours for Educators
Educators, counselors, and other school career faculty should strive to connect real world scenarios to learning in the classroom, and tours of our local businesses are a great way to achieve this! We set up tours several times a year for educators in Elkin City, Mount Airy City, Surry County, and Yadkin County Schools. This experience helps them learn about potential career pathways for students and creating guides for career planning. |
