Career & Workforce Readiness
Grade bands served: Kindergarten through Grade 12
Career and Workforce Readiness prepares learners for the transition out of school. Early grades explore the work people do; middle grades map interests to career clusters and pathways; high-school learners build CVs and portfolios, practise interviews, learn workplace expectations, and complete job shadowing or attachment where partners allow. The subject also covers freelancing and remote work, which give Liberian graduates access to international income.
