IN PRACTICE

Promoting
Policy Change

Working to advance policy solutions at the federal and state levels around three critical pillars of career success:

Expanding career exploration

Pursuing policies that expand opportunities for kids, allowing them to explore education and career paths both in and out of the classroom starting as early as 6th grade.

Backing work-based learning

Advocating for state and federal support and programming so kids can gain experience and workplace skills.

Supporting diverse post-secondary options

Leading the dialogue around what post-secondary education success looks like, we’re helping kids transition from high school into high quality training and education opportunities.
