Topic Description: The Center for Tomorrow’s Leaders is a local non-profit that engages, equips, and empowers young leaders for Hawaii. Through signature high school and post-secondary programs, CTL is creating an atmosphere for student leaders to be discovered and trained from all communities. In doing so, CTL is working to provide a leader feeder for Hawaii’s businesses, government, and all sectors. This presentation will cover an overview of CTL's work with over 500 young leaders across 5 islands this year in project-based learning. We will additionally discuss our learnings to-date on workforce readiness and CTL's new CAP-M pilot curriculum in partnership with PMI.
