What a Sponsor had to say

“T-Mobile has been so proud to participate in ELI by both sponsoring an educator and giving the group tours of our call center.  Teachers are anxious to learn about what qualities and skills we are looking for in future employees.  It is rewarding to know that we are helping bridge the gap between in-class education and real world jobs.” Julie Ramet, T-Mobile 

What Educators had to say

“Outstanding! A must-do experience for anyone helping youth reach for adulthood and employment.”
Nathan Mauro, McKay High School, ELI Participant 2006

“Overall this was a fantastic conference.  I’m so grateful to have been a part of it.  The days were very well-organized and very educational.  I’ve lived in Salem for 28 years and felt like a newcomer here- there’s so much I didn’t know!”
Cathy Heithaus, McNary High School, Eli Participant, 2005

“An excellent, informative, awesome introduction to the Salem area.”
Susan Stinson, Western Mennonite School, ELI Participant 2006

“Consistently the ‘passion’ of the business sector came through loud and clear.  It was rejuvenating.  It also dispelled some myths I had about business leaders in general.”
Tish Paquette, North Salem High School, ELI Participant 2004
