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.
