Teachers in the Workplace

In October, a group of 14 Enloe teachers and counselors spent two days touring the workplaces of Enloe's Business Alliance members. The faculty members visited Mars Music, WRDC-TV UPN 28, Nortel Networks, WakeMed, and Wake AHEC. Their goals were to help faculty focus on students' school-to-career transition options, explore methods of integrating business practices into curriculum, help faculty maintain an awareness of business and industry needs, and make faculty more aware of the function of the Business Alliance.

Enloe teachers tour the library at Wake AHEC and are told that Enloe students and staff are welcome to use the facilities to work on research projects and papers. Mary Robinson, Program Director for Wake AHEC's Health Careers, conducted the informative tour of WakeMed and the adjacent Area Health Education Center (AHEC).
