BB2C & the Career Pathway Support Network Professional Development

Educators and intermediaries across Southeast Ohio are working to strengthen how students connect classroom learning to real-world career opportunities.

Together, BB2C & the Career Pathway Support Network (CPSN) is launching a new professional learning opportunity designed to support that work: the 2026-2027 Community & Career Connected Learning Resources Course. This year-long course brings educators together to explore practical strategies aligned with the Ohio Career Connections Framework and to build networks that support meaningful career exploration for students.

Participants will engage in a series of five in-person gatherings and five virtual reflection sessions, collaborating with educators across the region to strengthen career awareness, exploration, and preparation for students. Participants who successfully complete the course will receive a $2,000 stipend, which may be used toward classroom materials, travel, graduate credit, or other professional learning needs. Educators may also choose to earn 4 graduate credits through the University of Rio Grande.

Participation is limited to 20 educators across the region. Applications close Sunday, March 29th.

Please feel free to share this opportunity with educators and intermediaries who may be interested.
