show moreCVUSD recognized the importance of exposing young children to career paths. Based on all the interactions that children have with adults who have jobs, integrating a career development curriculum will give kids the ability to communicate and connect with adults while also learning more about themselves and the people they could become. Kids who have their experiences are more confident in themselves and more aware of the opportunities they have to succeed.
Ed was inspired by his own struggles with learning at school. These struggles led him to believe that he was destined to be unsuccessful. These struggles that he had as a child and young adult have a huge impact on the work he does now. Data shows that kids in the career development program are more engaged in school and confident about themselves.
An excellent episode on filling gaps in the community with Ed Hidalgo. Here are some other takeaways from the interview:
- Why career development is important, the benefits that it has in young children
- How career development, self-confidence, and literacy are connected
