What an inspiring day for our Greater Ozarks Real World Learning (GORWL) Student Ambassadors! Over 80 students from across the region came together at Ozarks Technical Community College for our first-ever Real World Rising Student Summit, hosted by GOCSD.
Throughout the day, student ambassadors:
🔸 Were immersed into real world learning classrooms at the OTC Career Center as they toured areas focused on healthcare, construction, education, computer sciences and manufacturing
🔸Took part in hands-on learning sessions
🔸 Shared honest feedback about their school experiences
🔸 Heard from a panel of students, educators and local industry leaders
🔸 Collaborated in teams to design new ideas for what real world learning could look like in their home districts
A huge thank you to:
✔️ Our student ambassadors and district leaders for their participation
✔️ OTC for hosting and guiding career pathway tours
✔️ Community partners and industry leaders who shared their time and expertise
This summit was all about amplifying student voice, and our student ambassadors delivered! We are energized by the creativity, leadership and vision these students brought to the table. The future of real world learning in the Ozarks is bright, and our students are helping lead the way!
