{"A":"Goochland County Public Schools","B":"Work-based Learning Partnership","C":"Goochland County Public Schools has developed a partnership with Greenswell Growers, a Goochland County business that recently opened a state-of-the-art hydroponics facility that is expected to produce about 3.7 million pounds of leafy greens for distribution across the mid-Atlantic over the next 3 years, all with 95 percent less water consumption and carbon-neutral energy.      GCPS’s Work-Based Learning (WBL) program coordinates workplace experiences that are related to a student’s career goals and\/or interests, sometimes integrated with instruction, and performed in partnership with local businesses and organizations. GCPS and Greenswell are working together to create engaging coursework that will give each student academic and hands-on experiences meant to prepare them for careers of the future. Greenswell Growers has collaborated with GHS’s Career and Technical Education program to provide curricula that teach students about Controlled Environmental Agriculture, marketing, operations and logistics, mechatronics, and culinary arts.
