Manufacturers Needed to Host Teachers for Workplace Program
SHARON, Pa. -- Manufacturers willing to host a teacher for 32 hours to share the importance of soft skills are needed for the Educator in the Manufacturing Workplace program, the Oh-Penn Interstate Region says.
The initiative, supported by the Oh-Penn’s Pathways to Competitiveness Project, runs from June 20 to Aug. 8.
Educator in the Manufacturing Workplace is an opportunity for companies to open their doors and allow teachers to see how what they teach applies to manufacturing as well as validate to their students the importance of showing up for work on time every day.
Eleven teachers are on a list waiting for manufacturers to volunteer to be a host.
During their time with a company, teachers develop a schedule of the 32 on-site hours with their employer hosts. At the end of the program, they prepare lesson plans relevant to their subjects that can be shared with other teachers in the five-county Oh-Penn Interstate Region.
