Roadmap

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.
