Education Pathways Considerations

  • Education pathways through college are different than other pathways–how to support students, especially men
  • Internships bumping into union and classification issues and we think we have handled it
  • K-12 role for now (possibly TK)
  • Grow your own efforts

  • Single collaboration meeting?
