The Connect Newton Implementation Initiative (CNII) was launched as a pilot funding initiative to support K–12 teachers in delivering workforce-connected lessons aligned with local career pathways. Developed through collaboration among education, industry, and community partners, and funded by Georgia Power, the initiative provides financial and structural support for teacher-designed, career-relevant classroom projects. The first-year pilot tested the application, review, and implementation process, offering early insight into how teacher-led workforce instruction can be supported while informing refinements for year two.
