Educator Professional Development

Educator Professional Development (EPD) programs provide professional development opportunities for educators using innovative approaches.

Educator Institutes

Skillpoint Alliance Educator Institutes provide professional development that brings teachers into environments where classroom concepts come alive. These industry-led trainings allow teachers to explore and collaborate, and participants leave with resources that will help them engage and excite their students.

Counselor Industry Visits

Counselor Industry Visits offer middle and high school counselors and directors of career and technology education an opportunity to meet with local business leaders about career opportunities for currently enrolled Central Texas students. Visiting corporate sites, participants talk with human resource personnel to learn which skills and knowledge are required for students to become qualified for particular occupations within a specific industry.

College & Career Expo

The College & Career Expo is an annual event designed to increase awareness of college and career alternatives for high school students.

Ronald Smith evacuated from Hurricane Katrina and arrived in Austin with only $40. He came to Skillpoint Alliance where we helped him obtain skills in construction through our adult workforce program, Construction Gateway. He then found employment with Zachry Construction in Austin. “Hope was a main element and this program, Construction Gateway, enhanced it and gave me the opportunity to expand my skills,” Smith said. “The people of Austin have been very generous to me. Thanks, Skillpoint Alliance!"
