 Discovery Education and Dell Technologies today announced the launch of a new educational initiative, Tech Career Circuit. Tech Career Circuit is a one-stop huboffering complementary learning resources to prepare students in grades 6-12 for success in the IT industry.  

Using Tech Career Circuit’s unique hands-on learning opportunities and digital literacy resources, students can develop the essential workforce skills required in the IT industry. The Tech Career Circuit resources are standards-aligned, making integration in any classroom environment simple. The Tech Career Circuit resources include wrap-around lesson plans, activities, and educator supports available in multiple formats such as web-based content, PDFs, learning management system integrated designs, and more. The resources are designed to fit into any 6-12 classroom and support career and technical education tracks. 

“Technology is moving at an incredible speed. At Dell, we want to prepare students for the future workforce, and technology and career skills are critical to participation. With Tech Career Circuit, we are providing access to opportunities and learnings that help K-12 educators anywhere in the world prepare students for skills needed in a career tomorrow,” said Carly Tatum, head of Giving and Impact at Dell Technologies. “We’re proud to partner with Discovery Education to connect students everywhere to critical future ready skills.”
