Strengthening Pathways: Learn to Earn Dayton Engages in National Collaborative Learning

Learn to Earn Dayton (L2ED) has been actively engaged in national learning initiatives, working to bring the most innovative approaches and strengthened partnerships back to the Dayton Region. We were thrilled to join our colleagues from education and industry as part of the Dayton Region team at the Jobs for the Future (JFF) Pathways to Prosperity Institute. During this intensive collaboration, we explored cutting-edge strategies for career-connected learning, focusing intensely on how to enhance our regional partnerships to better help students envision and achieve their pathway to their future selves.

The commitment to systems change continued when L2ED and Montgomery County Educational Service Center (MCESC) colleagues gathered in Austin for the StriveTogether High School/Post Secondary Convening. At this vital meeting, we worked across various state teams to collectively identify and strategize on how to remove persistent, system-level barriers that currently impede smooth transitions within the high school and post-secondary space, underscoring our dedication to equitable student success across the community.
