The New York State Education Department (NYSED) and The City University of New York (CUNY) co-developed the NYSED/CUNY CareerKit. It is a comprehensive career preparation resource for teachers and counselors to equip students with the skills necessary to make informed choices about their career paths in ten industry sectors. CareerKit activities are written at the high school equivalency (HSE)/Upper English as a second language (ESL) level, with adaptations possible for Pre-HSE and intermediate ESL levels, and integrates reading, writing, research and math skills. The sectors are Healthcare, Technology, Community & Social Services, Education & Childcare, Manufacturing, Hospitality, Recreation, & the Arts, Food Production, Retail, Construction, and Transportation & Warehousing. There is also a foundational, multisector CareerKit, Career Fundamentals, which introduces students to key questions related to career decision-making.
The resource provides teachers and counselors with resources to support students with the skills necessary to make informed decisions/choices about ten career sectors/paths. The resource contextualizes the career exploration activities by integrating reading, writing, research, and math skills. Because each kit has the same unit topics, the resource also allows for instructors to deliver workforce readiness instruction in areas such as career planning, educational pathways, and self-awareness to learners interested in careers in different industries.
