cradle-to-career approach

The cradle-to-career approach is a comprehensive strategy that supports individuals from birth through their educational and career transitions. It recognizes that early childhood experiences, education, family, community, and health all influence a person’s long-term success. By aligning resources and programs across these stages, this approach aims to ensure children and young adults have the skills, support, and opportunities needed to achieve their goals and contribute to society. It emphasizes collaboration among families, schools, and community organizations to create a seamless pathway from early development to a fulfilling career.
