Career Education Breakfast
Career Education Breakfast
Date: Thursday, March 20, 2008
Location: Stavros Institute
Time: 8:00-9:30 A.M
WHO: Businesses whose workforce is comprised of skilled labor (i.e. nursing, welding, automotive, construction, etc.) from throughout the Tampa Bay area and SAVE Career Education scholarship students and sponsors.
WHAT: In Florida, for every 100 students who enter high school only 14 will ultimately graduate from college graduate within 6 years. Of those, only 8 will find work in their chosen careers. The other 92 young people will enter a job market full of potential but more often than not, requiring some advanced technical training other than a college degree. The program will include breakfast and a discussion on the issues related to workforce needs. Highlighting the event will be recognition of our SAVE Career Education Scholarship winners.
WHY: Few issues are more critical to the economic health of our community than workforce development. As the average age of our skilled tradesperson increases along with the demand for skilled labor, our vocational/technical schools need more support to meet the growing requirements. Technical schools in Pinellas County place approximately 2,000 students in jobs each year, having an additional annual impact on the local economy of more than $50 million. This breakfast allows interested businesses the opportunity to hear from school and community leaders on the topics of economic impact, workforce education and advocacy for technical education. Our purpose for this meeting is to rally support in the corporate community to create effective advocacy for technical /vocational training in our public schools and to recognize our SAVE students who will soon be entering the workforce. Proceeds from the event will be used to fund SAVE Career Education Scholarships.
