CAREER DEVELOPMENT TEAM ANNUAL REPORT
2021-2022

Superintendent's Strategy

The recently completed DPS Strategic Roadmap, DPS Thrives, focuses on “getting better at getting better” and ensures conditions for student success exist so that everylearnerthrives. The District’s mission calls for a shared commitment to equitable programming that will set our students up for a successful and fulfilling future. “Educational equity is our collective responsibility. We prepare students for career, college and life.” To this end, the Superintendent’s vision includes a commitment to expand internship and apprenticeship opportunities for students throughout the district.

With this in mind, the Career and College Success department will continue to offer tangible support, opportunities, and resources throughout the student experience by focusing on

(1) Individual Exploration & Discovery (2) Career Exploration, and (3) Academic & Career Planning and Management.

We will recommit ourselves to serving priority youth and engaging students, families, school staff and our partners. We will also shift our efforts to to build comprehensive kindergarten to workforce (k-20) pathways that imbed opportunities for students to achieve career and college competencies.

Spark Elementary Program

Student Story

On May 12, 2022, the 5th grade students at Bryant-Webster Dual Language School had a visit from Megan Sawyer of Matrix Design Group, an engineering, planning, and landscape architecture company. Megan told the students about the work she does as a civil engineer and shared pictures of some of the projects she has worked on. The students were then given a small-group challenge to design a park. Using a park map, markers, and design parameters, Megan helped students think through their ideas.

Students enjoyed the project so much that as they were leaving the library, they were discussing with each other when they could find time to keep working on their designs, “Maybe lunchtime? Recess? After school?”

My favorite part of this event was when we got to design the park with the engineer.

Spark Middle School Program

Student Story

In spring of 2022, Spark partnered with the Gates Corporation to facilitate an in-school career workshop called “Empowering Creators” at Merrill Middle School. The workshop included over one hundred 6th, 7th and 8th graders who collaborated with a large group of Gates employee volunteers. The workshop exposed students to the manufacturing industry and highlighted the variety of jobs and departments required to create successful products.

Students engaged in a business and engineering challenge that tasked them with designing and building a moving vehicle while incorporating a marketing plan and budget. Students were assigned jobs in the various “departments” (engineering, marketing, finance, and design) and worked together to compete against other groups. Ultimately the groups were judged on the completion of their vehicle, the distance it traveled and their marketing pitch.

I learned about manufacturing and how a team collaborates together to create an amazing outcome along with different professions I didn't know existed.

Xplore High School Program

Student Story

In the spring of 2022, CreativeConnect (a pathway that includes coursework in graphic design, audio/visual production, and technical theater) students from George Washington High School visited Gallun Snow Associates, an award-winning and nationally-recognized interior design firm that specializes in commercial projects such as healthcare facilities, recreation centers, and have recently completed projects at Denver International Airport. Students engaged with Gallun Snow staff to hear about their career paths and opportunities, learned about how the company uses technology applications to create designs for clients, and even created their own mock-ups for a proposed project using textiles and swatches.

[My favorite part was] trying to organize a project that was inevitably not going to work out.

This gave me an example of how complicated the real world can be.

Coach Mentoring Program

Student Story

Cindy Aguilar, a junior at CEC Early College, was paired with Jordan Perlmutter, a bridge engineer from Foothills Bridge Co, for the duration of the school year. During this time, Jordan and Cindy worked together to explore the field of architecture. Upon completion of the Coach Mentoring Program, Cindy interviewed for and was selected for a summer internship with HDR, an architecture company. When asked what was a motivating factor for her, she said that being in the mentoring program was key in helping her through the process, and that she grew more confident and gained skills to present herself and to not be scared to go after her dreams.

13

My coach has introduced me to a lot of people, and taught me that I should make the most of every opportunity but also not to diminish what I want to try.

It was amazing having someone to guide me and lead me on the right path. She was very kind and helpful.

My coach has introduced me to a lot of people, and taught me that I should make the most of every opportunity but also not to diminish what I want to try.

I learned a lot about my Coach's experiences in high school and college and how they could be similar to my own. I also got a lot of great guidance and advice for my future.

My mentors really motivated me to want to do better and want more for myself and my future career.

Launch Internship Program

Student Story

Jordy Castillo spent the summer applying his culinary skills all around the Denver area as an intern at Greens 'n Grains. Jordy completed two semesters of culinary arts courses at Career Education Center (CEC) Early College prior to his summer internship placement. Greens 'n Grains (one of many great programs offered by Denver Inner City Parish) is a food truck that distributes free healthy meals to the community while also educating youth about nutrition. Jordy said this about his experience,

“My dream career path has been to do something with Culinary Arts, and at DICP (Denver Inner CIty Parish) I had the opportunity to be an intern as part of their Greens and Grains food truck during the summer, giving out free healthy meals to kids. The internship taught me skills that I will use again such as preparing food, time management and communication. Apart from learning valuable skills I had a great experience with the team and seeing the kids smile as they enjoyed their lunch.”

He was eventually put in charge of the flat top grill where he independently prepared the main dish for the free meals. Jordy received high praise from his supervisor. "I would recommend Jordy as workplace ready, as he is a great worker...Jordy is a great listener and focuses on detail well. When an assignment is presented to him with specific details he is able to complete it..." Jordy is now in 11th grade at CEC.

16

Learning how to SPEAK UP MORE helped me gain confidence in my abilities.

It was valuable to me in a way that I can see what I want to do and plan for my future.

I got to see a lot of what I was learning in my med classes used in real life.

The Launch Internship Program is a great way to discover if a student is interested in working in the career of their choice. It also made me gain interest [in] being in college and studying after high school.

LAUNCH STUDENTS SAID...

I got a lot of experience from this and made a lot of connections that could be useful in the future.

Youth Apprenticeship Program

Student Story

Andrew Colberg, an East High School student, was hired as an apprentice with the City of Denver, Community Planning and Development team in fall 2021. Andrew was a crucial member to the team when they were understaffed and was always willing to support projects when needed. Recently, his supervisor shared that in a time sensitive and important project, Andrew was a critical contributor and took the lead with a smile on his face and a can-do attitude.

After he graduated from high school in May 2022, Andrew was offered a full-time position with the City of Denver and started as a full-fledged employee as of fall 2022! Andrew's team felt that the support he offered the department was invaluable and recognized his commitment to building his future. When Andrew first started his apprenticeship, he shared these words of encouragement:

"My apprenticeship is an experience that will benefit me for the rest of my life and I suggest other apprentices try and enjoy every moment and experience that this program offers."

These words foreshadowed the good things to come for this young man!

My apprenticeship is an experience that will benefit me for the rest of my life.

Innovations

CASR Grant and Renewable Energy Academy

In spring 2022, DPS Career and College Success was awarded a grant from the City of Denver’s Climate Action Sustainability and Resilience (CASR) Department supporting career exploration programming focused on careers in renewable energy and sustainability for high school students. The three-year grant supports career exploration events, mentoring, internships and a summer Renewable Energy Career Academy that included solar installer certification, career exploration events, mentoring and project based learning. Twelve students completed the certification training and eleven finished the Academy successfully. In partnership with the African American Trade Association (AATA), DPS has offered nine career exploration events featuring renewable energy careers resulting in 129 student experiences. AATA also created an internship opportunity for six students focused on community outreach and educating community members about solar credits offered by the local utility company. Through the grant, the students were paid minimum wage and received not only solar education but workforce development services such as resume writing, public speaking coaching, etc.

21

Spotlight on Affinity Groups

In 2017, DPS recognized and prioritized the need for affinity mentoring to create a sense of belonging among groups of students who identify as Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) are interested in non-traditional careers based on their gender identity or who speak a language other than English. This began as one Women in STEM mentoring cohort and has since evolved and grown to include three Spanish Speaking cohorts, two Black Professionals cohorts, and one BIPOC Professionals cohort spanning middle and high school. The feedback around the effectiveness of the affinity spaces within recent years has been overwhelmingly positive.

Mentor Feedback

Student Feedback

"Loved, loved, loved the Black affinity group. It was incredibly powerful to watch the students gain comfortability almost immediately because they saw role models that looked like them."

"Seeing yourself in a professional mentor is HUGELY beneficial to helping students work through/past imposter syndrome. As a professional I feel the same, and am happy to see affinity groups included in this program!"

"I feel Spanish Speaking students feel they might not have the same opportunities because of the language barrier but allowing a program that is helping them seek and build a relationship outside of their school brings confidence to themselves."

"Seeing all of these empowered women in their career fields was awesome and inspired me to do something like them.”

"Having an affinity space was very helpful and inclusive.

"Having a coach was valuable because I was able to build a bond with someone who is pretty similar to me.

"Having an all female class and female mentors helped me to understand challenges I could face as a female in these fields but also how to overcome them.

Spark Elementary Program

Spark Elementary is the newest career exploration program offered within the work-based learning continuum of programs. As part of our 2021-2022 strategic priority to start career exploration early, our team implemented a pilot program targeting kindergarten to 5th grade students at seven schools. The framework focused on teacher-led career exploration lessons, followed by an industry guest speaker sharing their career journey and answering student questions. Guest speakers engaged students through hands-on activities which included trying on beekeeping outfits, creating video games, and designing a neighborhood park. Students really enjoy meeting and working with industry professionals in order to expand their knowledge of career pathways. In a commitment to continuous improvement, we will implement changes based on teacher feedback we received on methodology for presenting to our youngest learners.

Summer Connections

The Spark team collaborated with the DPS Expanded Learning team to bring career exploration programming to the district’s 1st-5th grade summer school (Summer Connections). We created a 10-hour curriculum that explored students’ strengths, interests, and values through Holland’s RIASEC framework. Through games, activities, videos, and lessons, students widened their knowledge of possible future careers and made connections to their own academic lives and skill sets. The culminating event for each school site was a day with industry guest speakers, giving students the opportunity to ask questions and engage with the visiting experts.

INNOVATIONS 23

Spark Middle School Program and CBOs

In collaboration with three community-based organizations, the Spark team served DPS students within the Denver community by taking career exploration on the road. This effort aimed to engage students outside of the classroom and in their communities. The team offered six sessions focused on exploring personal career interests, strengths, and values through RIASEC-based curriculum. Following each session, students also had the opportunity to hear from industry professionals in various pathways. At the completion of the sessions, students presented personal strengths, RIASEC survey results, and values through a visual representation called a “Me Tree”.

Partner Quotes

Watching the students begin to envision a future plan throughout the year. From being unsure to formulating some goals is very inspiring.

I enjoyed giving back.

I think it is so important to get kids thinking about what job opportunities are out there. I didn't get that in high school!

I appreciated the opportunity to connect with a high school student and provide guidance and support to help them explore their career path. It was nice to give back to the community in a meaningful way.

Getting to see the world through the eyes of someone that hasn't been out on their own yet and helping them choose a pathway to get what they want out of life.

Partner Quotes

Going through this for the first time I was blown away by what [my intern] could do and he’s only a junior in high school. It was exciting to watch him jump in feet first and learn so much in his short six-week internship.

I loved getting to know my mentee and all the other mentees as well as the professional mentors. We truly had a great group and I think we are a part of something bigger than ourselves.

Looking Ahead

Greater Support and Opportunities for Priority Students

• In support of the Superintendent's vision, the Career Development Team will continue to focus on engaging BIPOC students, multilingual learners and students receiving special education services in work-based learning programming. New initiatives may include increased access to short term training leading to credentials and immediate employment opportunities, leadership development, strategic WBL partnership support to better serve students with increased needs, and expansion of affinity focused mentoring.

Expansion of Spark Elementary (from Pilot to Program)

• After a successful pilot year, the full implementation of the Spark elementary-level program will take place in the 2022-23 school year. The program will be rolled out in three phases at schools and will focus on exploring strengths, interests, and values while making connections between school, careers and work.

Scale Up Grant and DPS Apprenticeship Expansion

• In late spring 2022, the DPS Career Development Team was awarded a Scale Up Grant to build and sustain capacity to launch its first registered youth apprenticeship program. In the 22-23 school year, seven new registered Administrative Services Manager youth apprentices will begin an extraordinary learning journey. Apprentices will be hired and trained to master with relevant and transferable business competencies through on-the-job learning within DPS. In the spirit of leading by example, apprentices will work for the DPS Cabinet offices: the Office of Schools, Office of Operations, Office of Chief of Staff, Office of Chief of Talent starting in fall 2023.

30

Summer Career Academy Expansions

• In summer 2023, the Launch Program plans to offer a new Career Academy centered on entrepreneurship training. We intend to partner with a non-profit organization that focuses on BIPOC economic prosperity. The Renewable Energy Academy will expand this summer, offering two cohorts in the far northeast and southern/central parts of Denver.

• DPS and the Colorado Health Care Collaborative (CHCC) will partner in summer 2023 to attract students interested in health care careers to their 7 week curriculum which combines online and in-person learning on college campuses. This will allow us to introduce students to health careers in schools where a medical pathway is not currently available and encourage them to pursue additional training through concurrent enrollment or other DPS medical training options.

Mentoring Collaborative

• The Coach Mentoring Program is working collaboratively with Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) to increase the number of students receiving career exploration programming through the integration of our existing resources/curriculum. Additionally, for some mentor/mentee matches, the mentoring relationship may be extended past the DPS program completion. To support a smooth transition, DPS will provide training to BBBS mentors on Meaningful Career Conversations (MCCs) and BBBS will bring students and mentors under the umbrella of their programming once the Coach program concludes.
