Career Development
Student Life MS: Career Development Lead in
Every student deserves to see how their education prepares them for life beyond middle school. Whether they plan to attend college, start a career, or explore both paths, students thrive when they understand the real-world value of what they’re learning.
Student Life MS: Career Development Description
School-to-Career
School-to-Career (STC) is an initiative and a philosophy. It is a method of delivering the curriculum to our students that links classroom knowledge to real-world applications. Students learn better when information is made relevant, and STC ensures this by linking schoolwork to workplace realities. School-to-Career links the world of school to the world of work by supporting school-based activities such as classroom speakers, mentors, soft-skills presentations, and real-world activities and by infusing these into the Common Core through collaboration between members of the business community and classroom teachers.
Career Development Coordinator
The Career Development Coordinator provides a number of career-related experiences for students, including:
- Job Shadow Opportunities
- Guest Speakers
- Field Trips
- Interest Inventories
- Career Fairs
- Tutors/Mentors
- Service Learning Opportunities
Business Alliance
A business alliance is a collaboration among business, community, and school leaders committed to educating every student to become a responsible, productive citizen who can effectively manage future challenges. Through the support, dedication, and commitment of our volunteers, we provide a range of opportunities for our students to develop the skills needed to succeed in their future careers.
