EVENT: Exploring the Landscape of Career Development Opportunities in Washington, DC, Public Schools

This hybrid event, hosted virtually and in-person at the Urban Institute, will explore key findings from the first year of the Career Development Opportunities in DC Public Schools study. The work looks at the entire landscape of opportunities available to more than 20,000 middle and high school students in DCPS, from career academies’ structured programs of study, to work-based learning, to informal programming like career counseling, job fairs, and career and technical student organizations. The convening features presentations from researchers, a guided data walk, and an expert panel discussion that will explore various career development opportunities and how they fit together to meet students’ needs and interests.
