At Norris learning occurs through authentic, open-walled opportunities where learners engage in real-world applications related to their interests. Extended Learning Opportunities (ELOs) connect learners with field practitioners and mentors throughout the local or global community who provide opportunities such as career talks, job shadows or other career related activities that build each learners’ skill and confidence to enter the workforce. 

This work would not be possible without the contributions from the greater community. With our sincere gratitude, we would like to acknowledge their generous partnerships and efforts to enrich our learners' educational experiences.
