This engaging curriculum focuses on teaching “soft” or workforce readiness skills to youth, including youth with disabilities. The curriculum was created for professionals to use with youth ages 14 to 21 in both in-school and out-of-school environments as an introduction to workplace interpersonal and professional skills.

A career exploration resource used to promote career development for students. It provides self-assessment activities to assist students in thinking about the relationship between personal interests and career goals. Charts display sample occupations in 17 career clusters. Occupational descriptions, average earnings, and minimum educational level required for the job are also listed.

The Khan library contains videos that cover K-12 math, science topics such as biology, chemistry, and physics, and even reaches into the humanities with playlists on finance and history. Each video is a digestible chunk, approximately 10 minutes long, and especially purposed for viewing on the computer.

Networking, or connecting with people who may be able to help with career exploration or point to others who may help, is a learned skill that most students need to develop. Students are frequently reluctant or don’t think to tap into their networks for assistance and guidance. This curriculum helps students to develop and refine their networking skills in order to approach these important sources of information for career exploration and job possibilities.
