SLC has offered to include LG in a project that involves working with media students to create webinars and virtual blackboards to promote the ECE profession. These will run on the SLC website and in common areas at all three campuses.
Kim shared a survey of those who are working in the ECE profession but not yet qualified. Most indicated that the Apprenticeship program is their preferred method of learning. A number indicated that the main barrier to getting qualified is money. Kim will follow up to see if MinEDU funding support can be more flexible. (e.g. support Apprenticeship, purchase of textbooks)
