From Exploration to Hands-On Skills Building – Growing a Career Ready Generation
More youth than ever are graduating high school and enrolling in postsecondary education. Research shows these youth are credentialed on
paper, but lack the critical skills to succeed in their careers. This is America’s very real, and very critical, career readiness gap – resulting in only
one in five college students saying they feel "very prepared" to join the workforce. National 4-H Council and Lockheed Martin are sharing a
research-based career pathway model that nonprofits, corporations and schools across the nation will use to grow confident young people with
the skills to thrive in STEM career opportunities.
