Prepare Local Students for Our Workforce
The Tahoe Truckee Unified School District (TTUSD) is committed to engaging and empowering students to achieve their potential. Within their current strategic plan, initiatives are being worked on to ensure our local students gain hard and soft skills through classroom curriculum and real-world experiences that prepare them to enter the workforce successfully.
TTUSD is asking local businesses to take a quick 7-question survey, which will help drive these initiatives forward, hopefully in alignment with the needs of our business community. Please consider sharing your thoughts. The survey will be open through June 28, 2024.
