School To Career Partnership
-
The Marin County School to Career Partnership (STC) brings together schools, businesses, and organizations to create exciting educational opportunities for students. The Partnership is a project of the Marin County Office of Education working on behalf of the school districts in our community. The Partnership serves students from diverse academic, social, and economic backgrounds. On-the-job experiences, such as Internships, Job Shadows, and Informational Interviews, as well as Career Academies that provide career exploration opportunities, allow students to research potential careers, think about their future educational goals, and develop skills necessary for success in the workplace. The Partnership collaborates with over 200 businesses and organizations that provide work-based learning experiences for the students of today while they are developing the skilled workforce of tomorrow.
