Educational Development Plans Connect Classrooms to Careers

Educational Development Plans, or EDPs, are used by schools to help students identify their career goals and understand the academic requirements for reaching that goal. To help with the development of students’ EDPs, the Networks Northwest Talent District Career Council is working with educators, employers, and workforce development professionals to offer more Career Exploration opportunities. Watch the video to find out more about the importance of EDPs.

Our Township greatly benefits from Network Northwest's experience, depth of knowledge and understanding. Because they work with so many diverse communities in our ten-county region they understand the local land-use issues and are already working on solutions by the time we realize we need some help.
