CAREER EXPLORATION PROGRAM

Proudly supported by Shrewsbury Public Schools Annual Fund, The Colonial Fund.  

We appreciate donations of any size.

In the district of Shrewsbury, we remain committed to identifying opportunities that will help our students to be college, career, and life ready. We strive to support the whole child by ensuring that all students are drivers of their own learning, and have diverse learning opportunities. This critical work aligns with and supports SPS’s newly adopted 2023-2027 Strategic Plan that includes the following goal: Advance Career and Technical Education:Strengthen all students’ postsecondary preparedness by expanding access to career and technical education, evaluating course offerings, and exploring pathway opportunities, through the following actions:

● Expand opportunities for career exploration, job shadowing, and internships.

● Create multiple career and technical pathways for high school students, including coursework sequences followed by authentic field training experiences.

Going forward our career exploration programming will include a more extensive Career Fair with post-secondary education options, guest speakers and alumni mentors. We will expand our partnerships with local businesses to provide additional opportunities for our students to explore a variety of future occupations, including the trades, military, STEM, Healthcare, Medical and Manufacturing, etc.  Local jobs for students will also be posted on our Jobs for Students site.
