John C. Schiffer Collaborative School

Career Pathways

Providing career pathways in high school has numerous benefits for students, including improved engagement, college and career readiness, enhanced career awareness, better graduation rates, reduction of the skills gap, and improved employability. Career exploration helps students bridge the gap between education and the workforce by showing students how their interests, academic career and skill set can translate into the job market, and what steps they can take to reach their goals. Schiffer provides the following opportunities, with the support and guidance of Richard Welch.
