GEAR UP Idaho
AI and Messaging Workshop:
We had coordinators teach others how to use AI to become more efficient at their jobs. We also had our Latinx program coach do a session on messaging and how to effectively message our social media posts and flyers to ensure our parents are getting the information they need, this included practice using translation programs. We then taught our coordinators how to use Adobe Express and combined all of that sections lessons by creating sample promotions for upcoming events.
Grant Design Workshop:
We did a program design workshop to collect coordinator's thoughts on how we can improve the way we pitch the value of GEAR UP to school leadership, teachers, and other partners. We also worked to identify the strengths of our program and what resources we could develop from a state level to strengthen our program. Part of this was to inform how we might proceed with creating a better version of GEAR UP Idaho if we are able to write a grant next year and part was focused on how we can improve resources and practices now.
Culinary Training Facility Tour:
We were able to partner with a local culinary training program to do a tour and learn about different types of training available to students who are interested in careers in food/food science/culinary etc.
Eastern Arizona College GEAR UP
College Representatives / College Fairs - have been going on around the state, and our GU coordinators are taking students to hear from college representatives about their colleges, programs of study, and possible scholarship opportunities students could apply for next year. Many of our GU students are applying to colleges this fall.
