That’s a job!” The College & Career Success team, Dartmouth Elementary, and Dalton Elementary partnered with local and national partners to bring early career, college, and military conversations to K-5 classrooms!


Students heard from and asked questions to a myriad of professionals in career clusters such as: Finance, Government, Health Science, Human Services, Management, Public Safety, STEAM, Trade School, and Transportation. After conversations with professionals and an expanded career lens, students continued conversations in their classrooms about careers, pathways, and plans through their ICAP.


We thank Dartmouth and Dalton Elementary staff for partnering with us to deliver these fun, inspiring, and educational opportunities to our inspiring future professionals!
