Cultivate the relationship
Trust grows through warm, predictable touchpoints. Thank partners quickly, show what students gained, and ask before publicly recognizing them.
Prepare both students and employers before an introduction. Clear roles make the experience safer and more valuable.
Real example
After a shop tour, students choose one insight for a thank-you note; Ms. Johnson shares three notes and offers a job shadow next.
Key takeaway: Every completed activity should end with gratitude and a possible next step.
