The Homegrown Talent Initiative has worked with eight rural communities across Colorado over the past two years to develop and strengthen career-connected learning opportunities. Each community started by developing a graduate profile as the aspiration for students in their systems. In this session, you will hear directly from students from multiple communities about their experiences and how they are each making meaningful connections to the graduate profiles in their systems.
