Are you ready to help our students pack their bags for the ultimate expedition—life after high school? In the world of special education, we know that the "backcountry" of adulthood can be a rugged trek, but Work-Based Learning (WBL) is the compass that keeps our keiki on the right path.
Join us around the campfire as we explore the incredible WBL landscapes within our own KKP 'ohana. From the daily grind of student-run coffee carts to strategic partnerships with local businesses and organizations, we’re doing more than just teaching tasks—we’re brewing independence and mapping out a route to true self-sufficiency.
Whether you’re a seasoned guide or just starting to scout out possibilities for your school, this session is your survival kit. We’ll talk story about:
- Setting Up Camp: How to launch and manage school-based enterprises (like that legendary coffee cart!).
- Blazing New Trails: Navigating partnerships with local businesses that actually work for our kids.
- Survival Skills: Why these real-world experiences are the best "provisions" we can give our students for a successful transition to adulthood.
If you’ve ever wanted to start a WBL program but felt lost in the woods, pull up a stump! We’ll give you the coordinates to get your program off the ground. Let’s work together to ensure no student is left behind at the trailhead.
