This HERE to HERE Policy Brief provides a comprehensive overview of the CDOS credential, its current uses and challenges, and its potential to develop and amplify work-based learning in New York City high schools.

The time is now to invest in work-based learning and career pathways for high school students, not as an alternative to college preparation, but as an intentional way to improve postsecondary decision-making and long-term outcomes for students.

As we gear up for fall, let’s take a moment to look back on all the successes, challenges, and findings of the last few months. Let’s honor the collaboration, commitment, and engagement required to create transformative summer experiences, and the steps we’ve taken together to build more equitable paths to opportunity.

CareerReady NYC is a compact between NYC businesses, education systems, government, private funders, and service providers that seeks to open equitable opportunity paths to successfully launch young people into the world of work—it’s a shared commitment to supporting all young people on their journey toward career success and lifelong learning.

Over the past few months, we stood up CareerWise New York, launched The Bronx PIC, and expanded SYEP and critical partnerships. Our work relies on the support of The Bronx and NYC community—we owe great thanks to all the organizations, educators, policy-makers, students, and staff that make our work possible.
