Our approach to career readiness meets students where they are. Schools That Can...

How We Do It
-
Our career readiness curriculum builds directly into the school day, and can be customized to meet a school’s needs.
-
Schools can choose all 6 units in our award-winning curriculum, or mix and match specific units that fit their school’s needs.
-
We provide all curriculum, resources, and professional volunteer connections.
-
Our trained facilitators lead lessons right in the classroom, working with teachers to ensure units are meeting student needs and we’re supporting the school community.
Where We Do It
Our programming is active across 4 cities: New York, Pittsburgh, Chicago, and Newark.
We believe every student should be empowered to explore career paths that meet their needs and interests, establish workplace connections, and build skills they need to pursue a career. We work with middle and high schools serving historically marginalized youth, and prioritize our award-winning curriculum being student-centered, accessible, and responsive to student needs and experiences. In addition to our curriculum being adaptable in what classes it builds into, our resources and curriculum are also designed to meet the needs of students who are English Language Learners.
