The Bethel School District formed a Business Advisory Council, which meets once a month at Bethel High School to discuss skills needed to ensure students can be part of a global workforce.  They also advise on the Pathway Program, which is designed to connect students with specific interests to a concentration of study. The Council consists of higher education (Naugatuck Valley Community College and WCSU), small businesses, representatives from larger companies, and municipal leaders, including our Director of Economic Development.   The district is looking for more participants to serve both on the Business Advisory Council and/or support students in job shadowing and/or internship placements.  Job Shadowing and internships are a part of every pathway.  There are currently six Pathways:
Arts
Education
Global Studies
Business
Healthcare
Career Technical Readiness
