Learning and Earning: Pathways to Prosperity
Tuesday, June 18–Thursday, June 20 2019
This year's Appalachian Education & Workforce Network Conference, entitled Learning and Earning: Pathways to Prosperity, focused on how high schools are preparing students to take advantage of the education and credentialing opportunities and how partnerships between education institutions and the workforce system are resulting in increased postsecondary education attainment and, more importantly, a stronger and better prepared and positioned workforce. REL Appalachia staff hosted the plenary session Building Bridges to College & Career: Nonacademic Support for Rural Students' Successful Transition with colleagues from REL Southeast and the United Way of Southwest Virginia.
