Inclusive Career Connected Learning: How CBO’s are working to Bridge Gaps and Pilot Solutions to Meet Diverse Student Needs

Join us for a panel discussion to learn more about NYC’s current landscape for work-based learning and career exploration pathway opportunities. We will explore how schools and CBO’s are working together to meet the needs of alternative school students, recent immigrants, and young people who are not following the “typical” high school experience.

What will you learn?

• Career connected Work-Based Learning (WBL) programs designed to support students who are not following the typical 4-year high school experience
• What gaps exist among the current NYC WBL programs and how nonprofit organizations and CBO’s help address these gaps
