The NYSED/CUNY CareerKit Project
A
Comprehensive Career Preparation Teaching Resource for HSE & ESL Learners Reflecting
NYS Regional Labor Market Statistics
The
NYSED/CUNY CareerKit project is a comprehensive career preparation resource for
teachers and counselors in New York State. Its goal is to equip students with
the skills necessary to make informed choices about their career paths.
CareerKit activities are written at the HSE/Upper ESL level, with adaptations
possible for Pre-HSE and intermediate ESL levels. Each of the CareerKits addresses one of ten
industry sectors and integrates reading, writing, research and math
skills. The sectors are:
Healthcare
Technology
Community
& Social Services
Education
& Childcare
Manufacturing
Hospitality,
Recreation, & the Arts
Food
Production
Retail
Construction
Transportation
& Warehousing
There
is also a foundational, multi-sector CareerKit, called Career
Fundamentals, that introduces students to key questions related to career
decision-making.
Each
CareerKit activity fulfills a dual purpose – the acquisition of career
information and the development of language, literacy and
numeracy skills that support achievement on standardized tests.
