Does your school seek to enhance the career awareness, exposure, preparation and training of your students and/or to grow the capacity of your administrators and teaching staff?
PAI can tailor programming to your needs. If you are interested in fostering student success in middle school or ninth-grade through effective team building, data utilization, student intervention development, etc., we can help! If you are a middle school or high school and interested in building out career-connected learning opportunities for your students, we can also offer work-based learning experiences and manage industry partners for you as well as support the development and implementation of career pathways, bridge programming and/or pre-apprenticeships.
“During the two year span of time I have worked with PAI, our 9th grade team has grown tremendously. Every school needs a PAI support person to help with data and coaching.”
Do you or your organization want to help PAI in its efforts to enable ALL Philadelphia youth to be career and/or college ready? We could use your help!
