Workshops

Skillshops are low-key, lunch-and-learn sessions that highlight learning and critical thinking skills, resources, and approaches that help students become more effective, efficient, and self-empowered learners. Skillshops expand the student’s learning and critical thinking toolkit in ways that are applicable across content areas and beyond the classroom.

These interactive presentations feature a local industry partner who engages students in building their “power skills” – the behaviors that employers are seeking in job candidates. Following the hour-long presentation, lunch may be available for a limited number of students (sign up via the EDGE app, only for those who also attend presentation) to practice their networking skills with a real employer. Questions are provided, or students may bring their own. Lunch is free.

Tech Talks featuring:

• Bigger Brains, Chip Reaves, Owner
• Foothills Alliance, Stevie Nicks, Legal Advocate
• Michelin, Richard Brock, Technical Recruiter for Industrial Maintenance Personnel
• Wingate Health Sciences Center, Barbara Burke, Regional Director of External Affairs
