Stop asking local businesses for sponsorship checks and start offering them talent pipeline strategies! For years, youth organizations have approached local employers through a charitable lens. However, with Indiana’s Graduation Pathways reshaping how schools and OST programs view career readiness, it’s time to flip the script. In this interactive breakout session, creator Emily Dills introduces the "B-to-S" (Business-to-Schools) framework—an innovative, educational approach to workforce development. Attendees will learn how to translate OST activities into workforce readiness language, build sustainable employer co-designs, and create real-world learning opportunities that give youth authentic career exposure before graduation. Participants will walk away with a plug-and-play pitch template to transform business sponsors into active educational partners.
