The Ford Partnership for Advanced Studies (Ford PAS) Regional Mini-Institute was held last week (Jan. 22-23) in San Antonio.
The teacher professional development event was hosted by Alamo Community College District at its Advanced Technology Center.
The event was organized through the collaborative efforts of Ford Motor Company Fund; the Greater San Antonio Chamber of Commerce; the San Antonio Hispanic Chamber of Commerce and the Alamo Community College District.
Teachers were taught how to incorporate Ford PAS into their teaching and were also able to hear from leading San Antonio business leaders from sectors ranging from health care to manufacturing and engineering about the top skills they look for in their employees.
