Most high school students can’t say their after-school job is Network Administrator, or Systems Administrator. But not all students are lucky enough to learn from Denise Spence.
Denise has been an educator for almost 25 years. Over the years, Denise has taught IT course content and earned various IT certification credentials. She knows the value of IT skills in the workforce and has established a flourishing certification program at Dunbar High School. Through her relentless efforts, high school students secure IT experience that most students don’t get until after college.
We feel lucky that Denise took some time to teach us. In this episode, we discuss why and how to build a bridge between classrooms and the workforce. Denise shares her advice for how to create a business advisory board, what efforts teachers can make today to connect with local businesses, and how the bridge between her classroom and the workforce has impacted her students.
