Abstract
RPM is a partnership between the Richmond County School System and Textron Specialized Vehicles. The program mission is to motivate students to stay in school, graduate, and become career ready by providing classroom instruction, on-the-job training, key work/life skills, mentoring, and employment opportunities. Session participants will hear about a community and business partnership that re-engages students at risk of dropping out of high school and provides true work based learning opportunities.
Description
Session participants will learn the following:
