PACE creates meaningful ways for students, our future workforce, to engage with employers and community partners. Partners are essential to the success of PACE and there are many ways to engage and support the students. PACE was created over a period of two years through a collective-impact model of more than 100 individuals, 40 organizations, and 75 employer partners.

PACE is...

• Getting youth excited about potential occupational or career opportunities
• Preparing the next generation of workers before they graduate
• Streamlining career support efforts already underway
• A quality framework for engaging with youth in experiences that are equitable, experiential, accessible, and connective
• Facilitating experiences where everyone is prepared, accountable, and respectful
• Access to a new talent pipeline
• Giving back to the community
