THEME: This year’s Summit centers on a deceptively simple yet profoundly impactful theme: Listening.

In a noisy world, listening is not passive - it’s an intentional act of leadership. Turn down the volume and tune in to the voices that matter most—the people we serve. Together, let’s amplify the power of listening to transform education, strengthen communities, and shape a more connected future for career and technical education in Minnesota.

Why listening, and why now?
  • The pace of change continues to accelerate. To adapt and innovate effectively, we must listen closely to the needs, challenges, and aspirations of those we serve.
  • The most impactful solutions often come from those closest to the problems. Listening amplifies voices that have too often been marginalized and overlooked.
  • Data speaks volumes - if we’re attuned to hear it. Sharpening our listening skills helps us glean actionable insights from the wealth of information at our fingertips.

Developing a new generation of diverse workers requires a focus on how different workplaces and industry view competencies and their skill sets. With the advent of Skills-based Hiring and Employee Development Practices being on the minds of employers statewide concerning everything from job descriptions to professional development and advancement, this session works to describe the hiring design that an increasing number of employers are implementing. This session then offers strategies in how best to support the education of students as they learn to understand and incorporate competitive competencies for the future.

After this session, you will:

  • Explore how different industries view the same competency in terms of it's skill sets and whether it is occupational, foundation, required, preferred, internal/technical. This for the purpose transferring this knowledge into teaching experiences.  
  • Develop an understanding of rubrics and tools employers may use in developing job descriptions, defining competency levels in applicants, and developing onboarding. This for the purpose of morphing these tools into teaching aids for career readiness.
  • Gain insight into how instilling overall competency knowledge into students can provide young workers with a vocabulary and perspective to advocate for their training and development.
