Helping students understand ongoing training and work options that align with interests and abilities

Self-discovery is a cornerstone of the Schwab Foundation's efforts to help students understand what they are good at and how they can get paid for it.
In a world where the nature of work is changing faster than career exploration materials can be generated, it is critical to help students learn how to translate their own strengths, talents and interests into meaningful careers or career paths. Our partners have generated and assembled a series of resources to assist educators in helping students connect personal motivations and assets with career pathways. Once we've helped the students make these connections, we can begin helping them SELECT the training, education, or direct placement that aligns with who they are. |
