Oklahoma Pathways to Partnerships Career Exploration Project

Two students sit at a table in a library, each looking at a laptop. One student's screen displays an educational game.

Would you like your students to explore careers virtually at their own pace?

Students who explore careers through interactive experiences, build self-awareness, and confidence to start planning what comes next.

From early exploration in elementary school to hands-on career simulation for young adults , we offer free programs serving students with and without disabilities to help them prepare for their future.
