Experiential learning takes students and teachers beyond the classroom and into the real world to experience the application of learning in a business environment. Classroom speakers, company tours, job shadows, student internships, and teacher externships are important strategies for connecting classroom teaching and learning to business and higher education. All CCC students and teachers meet on a quarterly basis at a Connecticut college or corporate campus to hear from invited speakers and college faculty. During these events, students engage in course-related workshops and activities as they collaborate across district boundaries with other students and business mentors.
