CareerGPS Career Exploration Week

CareerGPS Career Exploration Week is a program produced by LEED and sponsored by Bank of America and Los Rios Community College - Project STRIPE.

In 2009, the CareerGPS Career Exploration Week provided over 3,000 middle and high school students from 15 schools in the Twin Rivers Unified School District the opportunity to navigate career opportunities in five high priority industry sectors in the Sacramento region: Health Care, Infrastructure, Technology, Public Service, Small Business/Entrepreneurship. 

Through CareerGPS Career Exploration Week, high school students will leave with a better understanding of the necessary skills, training requirements, and educational pathways for their field of interest.  Middle school students will have a better understanding of the available career exploration opportunities at their feeder high schools and will be better prepared to make an informed decision about their academic pathways.

LEED will be holding this event at other Sacramento region school districts throughout during 2009-2010 school year.
