Schools That Can NJ: To close the opportunity and skills gap for students in Newark high schools with technical training and industry partnerships.
Project Description:
Through real-world learning, students are engaged in hands-on, industry-specific STEM education. STC Newark will expand their pilot Career Skills program by December 2020 to two additional high schools. Cohorts of at least 15 students per class year in each school (totaling over 200 Newark students per year) will participate in robust career and technical education programs in their schools, preparing them for middle-skill, in-demand careers after high school graduation.
