Young people have a variety of skills, talents, and interests, but often they do not see their talents as relevant to the school community or workforce. Educators who intentionally build developmental relationships with students are able to hone those talents and build an influential rapport. As a result, students are more engaged and able to discover the ways in which their education connects to the workforce, daily life, and beyond.
