We trade the one-day career fair for a full school year of real careers: ten months, ten trips, and a plan for every student. Former school leaders run all of it, so your teachers can keep teaching.
A typical school year has about 180 days. Most students get one of them to explore careers.
1 school day, then it's over until next year.
3 days on site every month, a new career every month.
Students cannot picture a future in a career they have never seen up close.
A new program cannot land on teachers' desks. They already have full days.
Boards and grant makers want to see that career readiness work reaches students.
We solve all three: a full year of careers for your students, nothing new on teachers’ desks, and a report your funders will want to read.
