e2e CAREER READINESS CURRICULUM
About STC's e2e Curriculum
Through school-embedded career readiness lessons covering career exploration, financial literacy, resume and interview skills, and the changing world of work, STC's e2e (education to employment) curriculum supports students in developing the durable, human skills employers need most. As AI reshapes the workforce, we build the human skills and local partnerships that help students contribute to and benefit from the next wave of economic opportunity.
Led by trained STC facilitators who join students and educators in the classroom, STC's e2e curriculum can be customized to meet a school’s needs. Schools can choose all units in our award-winning curriculum, or mix and match specific units. In 2024, the e2e curriculum was recognized as exemplary by the U.S. Department of Education’s Career Z Challenge in 2024 in collaboration with South Bronx Community Charter High School.
Inside STC's e2e Units
Unit 1: Defining Your Path
Guides students through a process of self-discovery and career exploration. Students are encouraged to develop their research skills by exploring three different careers, while having opportunities to participate in career chats with inspiring guest speakers from different industries and walks of life.
Unit 2: A Changing World of Work
Provides an engaging, comprehensive exploration of the past, current, and future world of work. Students will learn about diverse career pathways, including trades and entrepreneurship, while practicing and exploring the tools for resilience needed to succeed in a changing workforce and economy.
​
Unit 3: Micro-Internships
A flexible module that invites a company partner to assign students a real-world work challenge, which students collaborate on to resolve for several weeks. Students present their real-world work solutions to their "employer" for feedback and commentary as a culminating event.
Unit 4: Tell Me About Yourself
A communication module that helps students practice self-advocacy by developing their own personal elevator pitch, exploring various ways communication and professionalism coexist, and mock networking opportunities with industry professionals.
Unit 5: Getting the Job
A module that takes high school students from how to search for jobs, and spot scam job listings online, to resume writing, cover letter writing, and interview preparedness. It culminates with a mock interview with an industry professional.
Unit 6: Making Money Work
Introduces students to the 6 components of financial literacy by providing a simulated employment experience. Students are "hired" at the beginning of the module with an entry level annual salary, and practice budgeting their paychecks and cash flow based on needs and wants.
