Goal
The goal of the AmeriCorps Career Pathway Coaches is to deliver curriculum on career and college pathways and self-discovery and to serve as role models and coaches for Cleveland Metropolitan School District 8th-graders and high school students attending the five Academies of Cleveland. The service provided by the Career Pathway Coaches will impact the skills and career gap in Greater Cleveland. Career Pathway Coaches will provide direct support and interventions that will increase 8th-graders confidence in their high school choice, as well as impact an increase in 9th- and 10th-grade student’s knowledge of career and college opportunities, interest in further pursuing a path toward a postsecondary education, and belief that their postsecondary goal can become a reality.
