Pittsburgh
STC Pittsburgh builds unique partnerships on the ground between diverse schools and partners in order to prepare students for success beyond their K-12 education.
What We Do
STC Pittsburgh has been serving historically marginalized K-12 students in Pittsburgh since 2007. Since its inception, STC Pittsburgh has been dedicated to cross-sector collaboration as it bought together a number of district and charter schools to share best practices. Since 2014 it has been focused on preparing students for post-secondary success, highlighted by an outstanding national Forum hosted at the University of Pittsburgh in 2018.
Since the pandemic, STC Pittsburgh has been embedding its award-winning career readiness curriculum into district and charter schools throughout the regional area. This has included its innovative Design Challenge at the middle school level, and its career readiness curriculum at the high school level. This curriculum was recently 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 (and the only organization in the state of Pennsylvania).
Programs Offered
Career Readiness
Our Career Readiness Curriculum consists of 6 experiential, student-centered units to prepare young people for post-secondary success. These units represent 125 hours of award-winning exemplary curriculum designed to prepare 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th grade students for the world of work.
Work-Based Learning Experiences
Work-Based Learning is a growing component of our career readiness programming in Pittsburgh. Anchored by our micro-internship unit that introduces students to multiple company work experiences with interactive engaging problem-solving exercises that are designed to spark student interest, work-based learning experiences is an expanding part of our award-winning career readiness program.
