We will explore practical strategies, policies, and practices that employers and programs can implement both short and long term to create a more inclusive, diverse, and equitable environment for their organization as a whole and their program participants.

Strong partnerships between employers and providers are key to successful career-connected learning experiences. This session will draw from the work of Workshop High School and Workshop U to explore strategies for building meaningful collaborations that support both young adults and employer partners. 

Through facilitated discussion, participants will examine how to help young adults intentionally get the most from their internship experiences and how to support employers with the tools to effectively mentor interns. We will identify common challenges, share best practices, and develop actionable strategies to strengthen these partnerships. Join this interactive session to gain practical insights that will enhance internship outcomes and drive long-term success in C2L-PHL programs.

Elephants are huge. Can you imagine giving one a hug? Sometimes there are moments in our lives where we are faced with something like an elephant, and we may not feel like even getting close to addressing it. It can be intimidating and potentially messy. It goes without saying that we live in an increasingly polarizing world. No matter where you are or where you fall on the spectrum of opinion and belief, you are affected by sensitive subjects, even if inadvertently. Today’s session is inspired by the work of Glenn E. Singleton who coined the term “courageous conversations”. Together we will explore creating authentic dialogue in our spaces around difficult and uncomfortable issues especially those we face in today's society.
