Exemplary Worksite Learning Award (Hull-Parnell Award)

The Caterpillar Inc.-sponsored Exemplary Worksite Learning Award (EWSLA) was established in 1994 by CORD and the National Tech Prep Network (NTPN) to encourage Tech Prep/School-to-Career initiatives to integrate meaningful worksite opportunities into their curricula and to showcase the best of these programs. In 2007 the name was changed to the Daniel M. Hull and Dale P. Parnell Partnership Excellence Award in honor of two visionaries who promoted student academic and career success for more than three decades.
