|Description of Project: |The project creates a five-year career and college readiness initiative |

| |beginning in 8th grade, transformative through its integration into middle- |

| |and high-school curricula. Activities are: (1) career exploration and |

| |individual career pathways for every student; (2) foundational skills |

| |training for career and college readiness; (3) soft-skills training for all |

| |high-school seniors; (4) webinars focused on 14 career clusters linking |

| |students with real-world work; and (5) an annual Career Awareness Week at |

| |each school to bring together students, families, businesses, colleges, and |

| |communities. Objectives: With stronger links between education and work |

| |early on, there will be improved student achievement and increased |

| |graduation rates, and increased access to and success in college. Outcomes: |

| |Kentucky’s rural students will have (1) greater awareness of future careers |

| |and their relationship to classroom learning; (2) stronger foundational |

| |skills, eliminating the widespread need for remediation. (3) Greater ability|

| |to move directly to college or career. |
