Educators Step Outside the Classroom
Working Worlds 2011

Working Worlds is an educator in-service program coordinated by Career Development Council staff to expose teachers to information about local businesses. The host site provides an overview of their business, the range of employment opportunities, educational requirements for employees, and the skills the company looks for when hiring new workers.

This five-week workshop provides instructors with information about businesses in the six career pathways of Arts and Humanities; Business and Information Systems; Engineering and Technologies; Health, Human, and Public Services; and Natural & Agricultural Sciences. The information presented by the businesses allows the teachers to make the connection to the New York State Learning Standards for Career Development and Occupational Studies (CDOS). This year’s group of 25 educators come from multiple school districts within Chemung, Schuyler, and Steuben County.

Host sites include:
Cameron Manufacturing and Design, Inc., Horseheads
Simmons-Rockwell, Big Flats
Wegmans, Elmira
Able 2, Horseheads
YMCA, Corning
