I received same day responses from five of the companies that I contacted. Because the companies contacted listed themselves as willing to offer problem based learning projects, it saved me time from explaining what problem based learning is and explaining our goals and needs to them. Having everything in one place with the right contact person on the account saved me what would normally take a week’s worth of time getting leads from others or trying to cold call companies to get to the right contact within the company. It definitely saved a lot of correspondence time when I was able to get in contact with the right person from the very beginning.

As the Windward Career and Technical Education (CTE) Intermediary, I’ve utilized the ClimbHI Bridge to identify and recruit industry professionals as guest judges for our annual Performance Based Assessment. We’ve also connected with industry professionals to support our Windward Oahu students in future internships and an upcoming virtual career fair. The outcome has been fruitful as we’ve secured a number of industry partners. The fact that these are warm leads as related to workforce development and work-based learning has truly helped my role as the regional intermediary or the connector between industry and education. We really appreciate all the great work the ClimbHI Bridge staff have put into their platform and we intend to keep utilizing it for future work-based learning activities and events!
