“A STUDENT’S LADDER TO SUCCESS”

School-to-Career Programs

School-to-Career is more than just a “program”. It’s a sequence of activities that engages our students by connecting what they learn in school to the world of work.

Through School-to-Career participation, students will be prepared to:

  • Connect classroom learning to career interest
  • Make informed choices regarding careers
  • Develop valuable workplace skills
  • Reinforce academics through work-based learning
