Our goals are to: 

• help each student choose one or more post-CCR pathway(s)

• help students identify career options and develop career competencies

• leverage a range of regional partnerships and strategies and that align with local resources and workforce demand

How Will We Succeed?

We have the following strategic anchors that will differentiate us from everyone else: 

• Rocket scientists of career readiness, with skills, knowledge, programs, and resources

• Showing up for ALL students and families, based on where they are/what they need (differentiating supports to distinct groups of students and ensuring students do not fall through the gaps of a school’s CCR site team)

• Change will be coming from the ground-up, with youth, families, communities as system drivers, not only receivers

• Utilizing the village (collaboration) to keep coaches supported and students engaged

• Continuous learning through training, practice, on-the-job practice and feedback, and coaching

• A strong data system to inform and anchor our work beyond anecdotes, feelings, biases

Short-term by the end of SY23-24: Proof points and stories of student impact from pilot, anchored on a focused set of supports for students.

Long-term by the end of SY25-26: Career coach initiative endures and has created an integrated, aligned, and coherent program of support in Baltimore City for each student to be college and career ready.
