Make your plans today for the 2025 Career-Connected Learning Gathering in L.A. on March 12-14, 2025
Whether you're looking to design and implement new opportunities for career awareness, exploration, and/or immersion learning experiences at your school, or to build a community of practice around this work, this gathering is for you.
During our time together in Los Angeles, we will share as a community what’s working, what lessons we’re learning, and consider new ways to grow together. This gathering is meant to be a “big tent” designed for attendees to come together to share ideas, experiences, and practices to support each other and accelerate change to drive career-connected learning work forward.
There are two exciting tracks for changemakers and innovators in education to lead the way forward.
Track 1 (March 12-14): A track designed for district, charter, and nonprofit leaders
Track 2 (March 14 only): This track is for CTE teachers
