A successful college and career readiness program begins with collaboration amongst stakeholders in order to provide real world foundational and supplemental experiences for kindergarten through 8^th grade. Various strategies include researching career clusters with an interdisciplinary approach, building relationships with community members through apprenticeships, and creating a capstone project will prepare our scholars for success.

During this session, the presenters will focus on providing attendees with specific and practical strategies for successful delivery of a consistent culturally competent college and career readiness program. We will discuss the importance of equalizing access to career information. In addition, we will distribute examples of a calendar, integrated lessons, and morning meeting/advisement activity plans to create a common language for scholars, teachers, parents, and community members. Attendees will engage in Think, Pair, Share activities, an application brainstorming session, and a Kahoot to assess their knowledge.
