The
Opportunity Connection website is a free resource for teachers, students, employers and parents. It offers hundreds of opportunities provided by over 50 local employers such as job shadowing, field trips, mentoring, career day speakers and resources. Opportunity Connection, an interactive website, is a highly structured site, which offers links to additional resources and information related to youth and education.
A beneficial feature of the site is the
