I learned quite a bit on how in depth networking is. I also learned some great strategies for creating networking plans. I think the worksheets are great for both personal use and to use as a resource when working with students. 

Resumes and cover letters can often incude other realtable skills to the position being applyed for. 

I encourage student to seek jobs they are passionate about. Its important that students focus on finding the right job for them. You should work in a field that you like so it does not feel like a job. You should not just focus on pay but on the actual job description. Students should do their research and focus on their needs and wants. 

I learned the value in having network ties and broadened my knowledge of the different components of a network. I found the dormant ties statistics to be really interesting. I like the tip of reaching out to dormant ties once a month to re-kindle those ties. 

This has helped me learn some new ways to keep members engaged.  I will definitly use this for our next board meeting.

I never realized how many steps there are to Motions.  I will definitly share that with my staff.

I knew some of the information, however I attended my very first board meeting this fall.  We were served dinner while we met.  I liked the idea of dinner but found no one talked while eating and the whole event lasted 2.5 hours.  I think I would recommend that we move everything up to start earlier, that way we aren't out till 8 pm at night after working all day.

It is essential to vet businesses to minimize liability risks when placing students in WBL environments.  Equally important is ensuring that WBL coordinator is knowledgeable about current laws and regulations governing youth participation in WBL experiences.  This module provided several links and resources to support this process.

It is important to develop strong foundational plans that outline clear expectations for all stakeholders to ensure a successful program implementation and meaningful WBL experience for students and business partners.  The coordinator plays a significant role in this process and must collaborate with the WBL teacher, counselors, parents, and students to ensure their academic and career goals align with the needs and interests of the business partners and vice versa.
