Connecting Business, Industry, and Educators to Strengthen Career & Technical Education
Watertown Unified School District is proud to bring our local business and industry community together with our Career Educators to support and strengthen Career & Technical Education (CTE) for students. While we host many events with local businesses, there’s rarely dedicated time for meaningful networking between professionals and educators in the classroom. This event changes that. Our goal is to CONNECT & ENGAGE these two groups, building relationships that can make a lasting impact on today’s students and help them meet tomorrow’s workforce needs.
Attendees will participate in 90-minute breakout sessions
organized by career clusters, including:
Advanced Manufacturing
Construction
Education
Hospitality, Events & Tourism
Healthcare & Human Services
Agriculture
Business, Marketing & IT
Interior Design / Textiles
This is the first step in fostering collaboration between stakeholders who are committed to preparing students for successful careers.
Class of 2025-2026
The Leadership-Watertown class had an engaging and full day of exploration and learning, beginning with breakfast and a tour of the historic Octagon House, complemented by a presentation from Gosling. From there, participants traveled to White Oak Builders to tour the facility and gain insight into local business practices. This was followed by a tour of the Schempf Building to discover the beauty and character of Main Street. Over lunch at Mullen’s, they discussed their ongoing projects and shared ideas. The day continued with a visit to Rosy Lane Holsteins, where participants toured the busy operations, followed by a trip to Turner Hall for a final tour and session evaluation.
