School-to-Career Program:
Employer Action Steps
We invite you to consider the advantages to your business or
organization when participating in the School-to-Career Program. The
program focuses on expanding the base of qualified applicants for

to articulate the skills needed for success and for employers to work
with educators to ensure that students graduate with relevant skills
and knowledge. School-to-Career offers various levels of activities for
employer participation. Each of these activities has a positive impact
on the student, the school and the employer.
