TriDistrict College and Career Readiness Initiative
The TriDistrict Career and College Readiness Initiative is a unique partnership that has developed between the school districts of
Inver Grove Heights, S
outh St. Paul, and West. St. Paul - Mendota Heights - Eagan. The partnership between these three districts is a collaborative effort to guarantee that all students of South St. Paul Secondary School, Simley High School, and Henry Sibley High School graduate with a plan for his/her “next step” and has the skills, knowledge, attributes and attitudes to be successful, wherever that next step takes him/her.
Of critical importance for students is for them to have a wide array of Career and College Readiness experiences, exposures, and explorations. To support the goals of our Initiative in this regard, TriDistrict Schools, in collaboration with community and business partners, have developed unique and immersive learning experiences for TriDistrict juniors and seniors.
Students learn about broad career opportunities within the given career field, and the specific professional skills needed to succeed in the particular industry encompassed by the course. Equally important, students also learn to transfer these skills to other career areas and their personal and professional lives in general.
In the 2018-2019 school year the TriDistrict launched two immersive learning courses. Healthcare Careers and Medicine held at Twin Cities Orthopedics in Eagan (Adjacent to the new Vikings complex) and Careers in Transportation, Business, and Technologies held at North American Trailer in Inver Grove Heights. In the fall semester, students attend class on-site at a local business partner’s campus. Instruction and exploration is led and facilitated by an interdisciplinary team of teachers that draw upon the professionals within the host-business site, as well as across the target industry and its sectors. Classroom work includes project management and completion, job-shadows, site visits, guest speakers, and mentoring, among other activities. In the spring semester, students then apply what they learned and leverage those skills in an internship experience.
