“School leaders play a crucial role in developing students’ career readiness by building strategic partnerships, securing funding, and ensuring program sustainability,” said Brian Shaw, Discovery Education’s Chief Executive Officer. “Expanding Opportunities: How District Leaders Can Champion Career Readiness empowers district administrators to play a significant role in supporting this important work. I hope educators nationwide will use the strategies contained in this guide to create learning environments that support the development of the skills today’s students need for future success.”
