Show Notes

Partnerships between schools and industry are the best way to prepare students for the careers of tomorrow, and thanks to partners like Fluor, Greenville County Schools is offering cutting edge opportunities to students from preschool through graduation. Today, we talk with Katie Porter, Greenville County Schools CTE Innovation Center Director, Thomas Riddle, Assistant Director of the Roper Mountain Science Center, and Torrence Robinson, Senior Corporate Philanthropy and Foundation Executive at Fluor, and explore how these partnerships create hands-on learning opportunities for students at facilities like the Roper Mountain Science Center and the CTE Innovation Center. We examine how these programs develop critical problem-solving skills and help students see their own potential in STEM fields. We also highlight the vital role businesses play in shaping curriculum and offering real-world experiences that ignite curiosity and inspiration.
