Shaping Baltimore's Next Generation of Leaders

Baltimore Career Coaching Initiative (BCCI) offers high-quality career counseling to middle and high school students in Baltimore City Schools. We guide students in identifying career pathways that align with their interests, strengths, and skills.

Middle school students are encouraged to pursue high schools with Career and Technical Education (CTE), P-Tech, or Dual-Enrollment/Early College programs, depending on their chosen career path.

High school students are expected to meet College and Career Readiness (CCR) standards by 10th grade to access Post-CCR pathways. Students can participate in advanced coursework, earn college credits and industry credentials, and prepare for meaningful opportunities beyond high school graduation.

Unlocking Opportunities in Career Exploration and Preparation

We empower students to explore who they are and what they can become. Our coaches provide engaging lessons on:

Self and Career Awareness
Career Research & Exploration
Career Preparation & Mindset
Financial Management
Digital Storytelling & Personal Branding

Through workshops, one-on-one counseling, and career exposure opportunities, we ensure students are prepared to excel in their chosen fields.

Supporting Students Across Baltimore City Schools

BCCI organizes schools into pods based on geographic location and grade level to ensure students receive tailored resources and support. Pod 26 consists of three schools in Northeast Baltimore City — Leith Walk Elementary/Middle, Success Academy, and BRAVE. This structure allows me to provide personalized career coaching, helping students explore pathways, set goals, and prepare for success in high school, college, and beyond.

Leith Walk Elementary/Middle

At Leith-Walk, I guide students through career clusters and help them explore pathways to success as they transition into high school.

Success Academy

Success Academy focuses on the re-engagement students, and I support them in identifying post-secondary career options suited to their individual needs.

BRAVE

In the virtual learning space, I work with students remotely to ensure they receive the same level of career coaching, preparing them for both college and career readiness.
