School-To-Career Department
PROGRAM INFORMATION

School to Career (STC) is educational reform designed to prepare students for greater success in careers and higher education. It is a system of educational opportunities that promote high academic standards and the attainment of transferable skills. STC facilitates academic learning and performance for all students. Graduates are academically and technologically prepared to enter post secondary education and the workforce.

In Broward County Public Schools, STC begins at the elementary school level and culminates at the high school level. It is implemented through a myriad of school-based, work-based and connecting activities and programs delivered by schools, employers, and communities. School-based activities provide career and educational exploration opportunities for students that will help them see how academic skills relate to the real world and to high education. STC curricula materials have been developed for elementary, middle and high school classes. Work-based activities include on-the-job training, job shadowing, internships, informational interviews and service learning projects. Connecting activities include college and career fairs, career and academic assessments, career exploration field trips, employer mentors in the classrooms, and educators in the workplace. The School to Career Department is committed to providing resources and support to students, parents, teachers, administrators and other stakeholders to ensure that all students receive a quality education.
