The genesis of the idea for Career Street came from both local employers and educators.
As a program, Career Street has Five Key Deliverables:
Career Street is a comprehensive career exploration and planning program linking businesses, nonprofit organizations, and schools to create and share experiences for students to job shadow, intern, tour companies, benefit from class speakers, and participate in career workshops and fairs.
Career Street's goal is to unite employers, schools and nonprofit organizations in the pursuit of a well-prepared future workforce, and to help better prepare students for the careers they want.
Students are vital to our community, and we want to prepare them for future careers right here in Erie County.
Career Street is made possible by businesses, organizations and educators of Erie County that are dedicated to uniting the education and business communities in the pursuit of a vibrant economy. Stakeholders include:
Career Street is a network that connects local employers and local educators for K-12 students to have career exploration experiences. Career Street operates under Erie Together. The Greater Erie Community Action Committee is the Career Street fiscal agent, as Career Street is not a 501c(3).
