Project EXPAND Mini-Conference & Pinning Ceremony
EXPANDING POSSIBILITIES, ELEVATING ACCESS
Celebrate your fellow Ambassadors, engage in insightful conversations, and hear apprenticeship success stories.
The event theme, "Expanding Possibilities, Elevating Access,” encapsulates the commitment and achievements of the DC Educator Apprenticeship Ambassadors. "Expanding Possibilities" reflects the ambition to open doors to new pathways and career possibilities through apprenticeship programs. "Elevating Access" underscores the importance of ensuring equitable access to these pathways, particularly for youth from underrepresented communities, by removing barriers and creating pathways to success. Together, this theme symbolizes the collective effort to create a brighter future for youth in DC by expanding horizons and providing equitable access to transformative post-secondary experiences. Through insightful conversation, the pinning ceremony will inspire innovative practices, foster collaboration, and facilitate the exchange of ideas to harness apprenticeships as powerful tools for workforce development, economic growth, and social mobility.
This event is open to current cohort members only.
