Dovetail is passionate about supporting new graduates as they pursue a career in the commercial furniture industry. We know that educating students about the industry and providing real-world examples of how the industry works is critical to making this career option a reality for those who are interested.

Ultimately Dovetail wants to help new graduates make their professional dreams a reality, and we’d like to work with you to make this happen.

Dovetail in the Classroom is a program that was designed to bring the industry into the classroom, while also providing the opportunity to educate students who may not be aware of the commercial interiors business – or of the many exciting career possibilities that come with it.  

Are you an educator looking for new ways to share career opportunities with your students, and inspiring them to pursue their professional goals?  

Dovetail in the Classroom is a turnkey solution that will allow you to turn your classroom into a new way of learning for your students. Here’s how it works:

1. You will have the opportunity to connect with our team of Ambassadors who are ready, willing, and able to present to your classrooms – either in person or virtually!  Simply reach out to Dovetail to let us know a little bit more about your program, your students your key objectives,  where you’re based, and how much time you have allotted for the Dovetail presentation and follow up Q&A.

2. We will match you up with an appropriate Ambassador and will work with you to customize our industry overview presentation to meet the needs of your students  and your curriculum.  You’ll also have the chance to meet with your Ambassador in advance to provide any additional information you feel is important for them to know in advance of their presentation.

3. Beyond the customized presentation, you will also provide your students with the opportunity to meet with the Ambassador- who is already in the business,  and allow time for them to ask meaningful questions about the experience of working within the commercial interiors industry today.

4. Leverage these conversations and connections to stay up to date on what is taking place in the industry to continually refine your curriculum, giving your students what they need in order to get the most out of your class.
