Institutions of higher learning and professional firms report concerns about lack of diversity in the workplace. Intentional partnerships can help bridge this gap. This webinar will focus on how to develop a secondary-postsecondary partnership to intentionally promote diversity, inclusion, and recognition of under-represented populations through collaboration and integrated planning strategies.
The presenters will share their goals and project planning for a competency-based, project-based learning model — with an emphasis on mentoring. This mentoring model was designed to assist high school students of Topeka Center for Advanced Learning and Careers (TCALC) to envision a better future while working with graduate students of College of Architecture, Planning, and Design (APDesign) at Kansas State University.
