Organizations Filed Purposes: Schools That Can reimagines education through real-world learning that closes the opportunity and skills gap.

Career Skills Schools That Can works with high schools to help build CTE-aligned career pathway programs for students that will prepare them for in-demand, living-wage careers. Depending on the schools needs, we may help them identify curricula, develop hands-on learning activities, incorporate an emphasis on cross-career competencies, and/or create real-world learning opportunities through mentorships, guest speakers, and internships. We also help students learn about career pathways and build professional skills through our Bridging the Education to Employment (e2e) Gap program that connects students to local professionals and companies for career workshops and externships.

Other Programs In addition to STCs signature programs and convenings, STC runs several local initiatives, many in collaboration with partners. For instance, STC facilitates Professional Learning Groups (PLGs) that support cohorts of educators through improvement and inquiry cycles. Additionally, STC partners with local companies and organizations to spread real-world learning and to connect education to employment. As an example, in partnership with Prudential, STC Newark helps to coordinate service learning activities for students across the city and also helps connect high schools to math professors and actuaries to showcase math in the real world.

Building Real-World Learning Schools That Can works with teachers and students in K-8 schools to bring powerful real-world learning programming to our schools, empowering students to drive their own learning while developing social-emotional and technical skills that will help them pursue their passions in high school and beyond. Our most robust program within this area is our STEM Maker Fellows Program, through which we provide training, curriculum, and support to teachers to facilitate makerspaces in their schools. Additionally, we host community events like the annual Design Day Challenge for middle school students and pop-up makerspaces.
