Transportation Regional Advisory
This past February, we had our Regional Transportation Advisory that brought together industry and education at the BMW USA Western Region Center in Ontario. The regional advisory meeting welcomed the following guests and panelists: 
  • Desert Region Colleges
  • John Elway Crown Toyota
  • Fritts Ford
  • Omnitrans
  • Riverside City College
  • San Bernardino County Fleet Management
  • San Bernardino Valley College 
Topics discussed were advanced transportation and renewable energy, current job market, trends and skills most wanted by employers in the transportation industries.  This helps educators prepare our students to be College and Career ready.   

As an advisor, our business and community partners validate current classroom curriculum that relates to industry and share information about current trends and skills that graduating students should be familiar with as they enter the field.  Guest panelists discussed entry level skills required in their industry and addressed issues they may have encountered with their employees or applicants.  At the end of the advisory, educators and partners were given a tour of the BMW facility.   
 
For this regional advisory, we partnered with Vital Link, the primary intermediary between the education and business sectors.  We would like to thank all the business and educational partners who attended our advisories in 2017.

Educator Job Shadow

CRY-ROP implemented a job shadow program for high school teachers and counselors in the districts we serve.
During the spring break,
educators have participated in the opportunity to job shadow with some of our business and educational partners.  Each job shadow provides educators a chance to experience and ask questions about the various careers in our local communities and bring that knowledge back to the classroom.  We will continue implementing the Educator Job Shadow program for the summer break. 

Partners who have recently hosted a job shadow for our educators during spring break include:
  • Brithinee Electric
  • Sorenson Engineering
  • Yucaipa Urgent Care
If you are interested in hosting an educator during the summer, please contact one of our Community Recruiters at community_recruiter@cry-rop.org
