Empowering Youth: Highlights from Project Protege's Employers Community of Practice



On October 30th, Project Protege, SIEC’s work-based learning division, hosted a dynamic Community of Practice event at the Thyen-Clark Cultural Center in Jasper, Indiana. Employers from across Southwestern Indiana came together to discuss strategies for building sustainable youth talent development systems.


Key Takeaways

Participants explored ways to create meaningful career experiences for students, integrating paid and non-paid WBL opportunities that align with the new Indiana diploma standards. Discussions emphasized developing strong talent pipelines to support local businesses and drive economic growth in our communities.


Looking Forward

Thank you to all the employers who joined us and shared their insights. Your collaboration is crucial as we work together to empower youth and build a thriving, connected future for Southwestern Indiana.
