Under Caitlin Franco’s leadership, Equality Charter School offers college and career exploration through a comprehensive Career Planning program. 

The Career Planning program employs a dedicated staff that guides adolescents into adulthood through a multifaceted approach that begins in middle school. Guidance counselors lead students in examining various career pathways, including how to pursue a meaningful postsecondary education.

Postsecondary education support also includes a work experience program, college-credit bearing options, and SAT preparation classes. To help students succeed during their postsecondary education, Career Planning offers an in-school tutoring program that provides peer-to-peer tutoring. 

Students are encouraged to explore their interests and plan for their futures through two career planning courses: one at the middle school level and another at the high school level. The middle school-level Life and Literacy class promotes exploration of professional interests and helps students create goals for high school. At the high school level, students take the Career and Literacy course and engage with career center resources to develop their professional goals.]]> 2017-07-13 22:58:33 UTC https://padlet.com/CaitlinFrancoEqualityCharterSchool/About/wish/178675905 CaitlinFrancoEqualityCharterSchool https://padlet.com/CaitlinFrancoEqualityCharterSchool/About/wish/2017296815 Caitlin Franco is the executive director and founder of Equality Charter School in New York City.
