Today we wrapped up our 3 part series on 'Advising for Digital Careers' for NYC PS counselors and teachers. Shared Lane is grateful for the opportunity to support counselors make a strong postsecondary plan that guides every student to a career - including a career in tech. Thanks to the amazing workforce training providers for sharing their wisdom and advice, and for being so collaborative - always. There is such a robust set of choices for young people to pursue their pathways. Thanks all!

Shared Lane kicked off a series on 'Advising for Digital Careers' for HS counselors. We're supporting counselors to unpack how their students should be preparing for future tech careers in an age of AI. They are also weighing pathways to a tech career through CUNY's complex community college system. Thanks to the amazing guests who are generously sharing insights with NYCPS counselors.

Thanks to the amazing Shakira H. and the team at SolarOne for hosting high school counselors and students to learn about how workforce training can be a part of a strong postsecondary plan. Appreciate Jeremy Greenfield and all the participants of the #Expanding Pathways Collaborative for learning together.

Every year between 12,000 - 18,000 students exit New York City schools without a clear plan of what they will do next.  Too many of these students become part of a hidden army that keeps our economy churning by performing service sector jobs that require little postsecondary training, pay precarious wages, and offer limited economic mobility or stability for their families. We know we can - we must - do better. But what should we do?  This fall, Shared Lane Services brought together some of the strongest minds, and most committed souls, across the city to address this problem.  We focused on a sector that lots of folks know about, but too many people know NOTHING about: the workforce training sector.  Our charge:  How can we get more young adults to take advantage of these programs that catapult students onto a pathway to the middle class? Together, we came up with a whole lot of ideas, big and small, and wrote them up in a report we are happy to share here: Little Nibbles, Big Bites: 10 ideas to improve career pathways for NYC youth.  [https://lnkd.in/e_D_8ZNS] Please check it out and let us know what you think.

Take a look at the new Forging Healthcare Careers resource, developed in partnership with Brooklyn College. Share with your school network as a resource for counselors to share with high school learners who want to understand local pathways to help others. It includes good jobs such as Recreational Therapist, Mental Health counselor and other allied healthcare fields, and pathways to and through CUNY. https://lnkd.in/eeiYDwqG #healthcarecareers #BrooklynCollege

Take a look at Shared Lane's refreshed and updated Digital Careers Toolkit. The pages have new filters for young people to find their tech path, and considerations for how AI will be part of their future job. We added emerging AI careers with hands-on entry-level aligned tasks for users to try. Included are new facilitation guides for teachers and counselors around planning postsecondary paths. Share with your network of educators - it's free! https://lnkd.in/eP8f8xrC #techcareers #postsecondaryeducation #digitalcareers

I am thrilled to share that Shared Lane Services recently received a Pathways to Adult Success (PAS) Community Collaboration Grant.  This award, made possible by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, will enable us to elevate student voice and determine what THEY are looking for from their schools and the broader postsecondary community. I’ve worked with the PAS team for years, and their orientation around partnerships, community engagement, and using data to inform (rather than define and diminish) has been instrumental to how I think about this work. A big thank you to Charlene Pryseski, Ann Mayou, and Bob Balfanz at the Johns' Hopkins Everyone Graduates Center for their leadership in this field and their commitment to championing multiple pathways and student voice. High school principals, counselors, teachers…Message me if you or your students might be interested in participating in the project. To learn more: https://lnkd.in/e4UQBkkx
