Connecting Industry & Education — One Bite at a Time
The Lunch & Learn series is your front-row seat to the future of the workforce in St. Lucie County.
Hosted quarterly at one of our local St. Lucie Public High Schools, these 2-hour events offer business leaders and employers the chance to explore Career & Technical Education (CTE) programs from the inside out. You’ll see classrooms in action, meet the next generation of skilled professionals, and build direct connections with the schools shaping our talent pipeline.
What to Expect
Each Lunch & Learn session includes:
Lunch (provided) while networking with other employers and educators
Guided tours of the host high school’s CTE programs
Live interaction with students currently enrolled in programs aligned to regional workforce needs
Panel discussions, expert insights, and topics like "Bridging the Gap: Industry & Education"
Opportunities to register for internships, mentorships, sponsorships, and school-to-work partnerships
This isn’t a presentation — it’s an immersive, in-person experience where you’ll witness the impact of public education on career readiness in real time.
