What We Do

STC New York supports students and educators across roughly 30 district, charter, and independent schools, bringing our career readiness curriculum into classrooms, piloting work-based learning opportunities for students, and collaborating with educators to meet school needs.

 

In 2024, a work-based learning ecosystem, created in partnership between South Bronx Community Charter High School and Schools That Can, was recognized by the U.S. Department of Education with its Career Z Challenge Award as one of only ten organizations in the country offering the most exemplary work-based learning programming. STC New York has also launched internship programs for high school students, advisory groups for students entering the world of work, and more.

STC New York Team

"I've had the pleasure of working with Schools That Can for the past four years now, and I've seen the impact that it's had on my students. When they are writing their resume, or they're getting to meet industry professionals, they come alive, and they really throw themselves into it. I've seen different sides of them through the work that they've done with Schools That Can."
