About Us
Our Team
Community partnerships and career exploration activities are built and administered by a diverse staff of permanent and contract employees led by Executive Director Janet Uchacz-Hart, a former teacher and career facilitator.
OUR BOARD
The SIEC is governed by a visionary board of directors composed of representatives from business, secondary and post-secondary education, government, and industry associations.
Our Community
Our community of shared responsibility is made possible through a growing list of participating youth and collaborators from education, industry, and government who contribute to SIEC capacity with investments of time, talent, goods, services, and finances.
Who We Are

Through a partnership among business, K-12, and post-secondary schools, unique hands-on career exploration events, and programs are designed and delivered to students, helping them find a career that connects their passion and natural talents with current and future workforce needs.
