Career Connected Learning
Career connected learning is about connecting students with real-world experience combined with relevant classroom learning. These experiences can help young people better prepare for their future education and career while exploring different career options and discovering jobs that inspire them. Helping young people understand and be able to access multiple career opportunities helps our community have a highly skilled workforce and helps businesses cultivate and find the talent they need.
