Supporting Educators in Preparing Students for the Future
As a teacher or counselor, you play a crucial role in preparing students for the future.
Mentoring and equipping students comes with many responsibilities, from grading papers and helping students navigate challenges to ensuring that every student is prepared for their next steps. We understand that balancing these tasks can be a lot. Our Career Education Navigators work with you to help you implement opportunities to prepare students of all ages for success.
Our mission is to collaborate with you to bring career exploration and workforce readiness into your classroom, freeing up some of your time while still achieving the important goal of preparing students for their futures. Whether you’re an elementary, middle, or high school counselor, we’re here to support your efforts at every level.
How We Help:
- Elementary School (K-2nd): We introduce young students to the world of work by reading career-related books, featuring special guest readers.
- Late Elementary/Middle School (3rd-6th): We engage students with guest speakers and related activities that spark interest in various careers.
- Career Exploration (3rd-12th): We assist in locating and organizing career-related field trips to broaden students’ understanding of the workforce.
- High School (11th-12th): We focus on workforce readiness skills, offering interview preparation and mock interviews to help students transition smoothly into their careers.
- Customized Support: We offer even more tailored resources and activities. Let’s brainstorm together to meet your students’ unique needs.
