Schools That Can's mission is to build an education to employment pathway to close the opportunity and skills gap.

Weekly, school-embedded career readiness lessons for grades 8–12 covering career exploration, financial literacy, resume and interview skills, workplace professionalism, and the changing world of work. Students build portfolios, practice networking, and develop the communication, teamwork, and problem-solving skills employers need most.

Employer-sourced, real-world problems students solve in teams. Local businesses and industry professionals provide authentic project briefs, mentor student teams, and evaluate final presentations,  giving students hands-on experience and direct employer visibility.

Short-term, project-based work experiences with local employers that give students a taste of different industries, build professional skills, and create pathways to longer internships, apprenticeships, and job opportunities.

An annual, city-wide event where students engage in hands-on challenges, hear from industry panels, participate in networking activities, and showcase their skills to employers, educators, and community leaders. Recent themes include Exploring AI and Future-Proof Me!
