LADSE
​Employer Advisory Board

The LADSE Employer Advisory Board is a vital link between business and education throughout the Vocational Alliance communities.  Together we provide expanded vocational opportunities for students, opportunities that allow them to learn, explore, and experience real work in real work environments.

Partnering with the LADSE Employer Advisory Board
We are involved in building capacity within our communities through the LADSE Vocational Alliance and its many joint initiatives of promoting student growth, business growth, and community growth.  The LADSE Employer Advisory Board looks for representatives from the business and business education world to join us in our efforts.  To learn more about the LADSE Employer Advisory Board and becoming a member you can download a copy of the LADSE Employer Advisory Board brochure.

About the LADSE Employer Advisory Board
Our mission is to support LADSE and its member districts in bridging the gap between academic and vocational experiences and promote student skill development for a successful transition from high school to adult life.

The LADSE Employer Advisory Board is made up of local business people that ultimately impact the employment for persons with disabilities. This Board is eleven years old and has assisted in the development of networks which include employers, business associations, community members, districts, students, and families.

We are a volunteer board and welcome new members.  Our current membership includes representatives from various industries such as health care, banking, education, finance, rehabilitation, workforce development, business associations, unions, vocational training, and local and state government.  We are actively seeking new individuals from the business community to join our LADSE Employer Advisory Board.

Our Project History gives you a snapshot of the projects and programs that were initiated and supported by our involvement in this business education partnership.
