Roadmap Summary
Roadmap Summary
NYC Public Schools’ mission is that every student is prepared and on a pathway to a rewarding career and long-term economic security, aligned to their passion and purpose, and equipped to be a force for positive change in their community. In support of this mission, we have launched and expanded signature initiatives, such as FutureReadyNYC, to bring more high quality career-connected learning opportunities to students, to increase relevance, engagement and excitement for learning and their futures, and supporting accelerated student success in high school and beyond.
The Career Navigation Roadmap is a comprehensive tool designed to guide students through their educational journey and prepare them for a choice-filled, economically secure future. Focused currently on the high school experience—with plans to expand into middle school—the Roadmap helps students explore college and career options and make informed decisions.
It draws from student-centered developmental frameworks such as CareerReadyNYC, the CTE Work-Based Learning continuum, and the NYCPS Match framework, and will continue to evolve through input from educators, students, families, and partners.
Organized around four key phases—Examine, Explore, Engage, and Experience—the Roadmap supports students in building real skills, developing strong plans, and gaining a head start on college and career. Milestones and activities are aligned to developmental grade bands but are flexible and adaptable to local school contexts, allowing schools to tailor the experience to meet their students’ needs.

CUNY K16 Career Exploration Maps
These Career Exploration Maps maps are designed to assist high school students in visualizing possible career paths and concrete postsecondary next steps by showing a path through these various possible steps in their journey. In keeping pace with the changing nature of postsecondary pathways in the 21st century, the maps are designed to show youth options to continue with education, move into work, or interweave both. Of course, this is not an exhaustive summary of options available, but rather a tool intended to spur conversation and connect to additional resources.
