Career-Connected Learning
Career-Connected Learning that Shapes Futures
ExpandED promotes in-school and out-of-school career-connected learning opportunities that enable young people to learn about themselves, identify careers of interest and prepare for their post-secondary lives. In collaboration with partnering schools, community-based organizations and young people, ExpandED integrates career-connected learning into the school day, helps establish credit-bearing programs and ensures programs integrate culturally responsive practices that support students’ social and emotional development.
Our Programs
ExpandED Options
This career-connected learning program offers high school students the opportunity to earn an academic credit while learning professional skills and expertise, which they then use to teach younger youth during the summer. Participants are eligible for paid summer jobs.
WBL Institute
ExpandED works with schools and community-based organizations to build career-connected learning partnerships, connect WBL programming to graduation requirements and develop sustainable systems.
Exploring Futures
Career-Connected Learning Learning Framework
ExpandED’s approach to Work Based Learning is centered on programming that increases students self awareness, builds opportunities for self and social advocacy, centers supportive relationships and includes meaningful youth decision making. Our framework illustrates outcomes for youth and the role of adults in our WBL initiatives.
