Career Jam

2022 Release

The SCRI/Career JamTM survey – the first of an annual index– establishes a local baseline for educators to measure and verify how far along students are in career preparedness and development as they begin high school course selections. It was commissioned by Career JamTM, with support from the organization’s annual community impact partner, Siemens, and a collaborative CapNY workforce network.

The survey findings reveal challenges and opportunities to students, parents, educators, local employers, and area trades professionals to better align students with career skills in demand.
