OELLEN School to Work Summit 2023

The OELLEN School to Work Summit was a tremendous success! Keynote speaker Ange van den Berg shared valuable insights on how gender influences career choices. Local employers discussed preparing young people for the school-to-work transition, and Brooke Young from OELLEN highlighted current and future job demand. We explored the exciting potential of AR tech for education and training. Updates on OELLEN pilot programs were provided, and attendees engaged in valuable discussions on next steps.

Thanks to everyone who attended for your wonderful feedback:
