Career Connected Learning PHL (C2L-PHL) is Philadelphia's version of Career Connected Learning. This proven model helps youth develop the knowledge, skills, and mindset they need to enter the workforce, careers, and community life. Our citywide collaboration focuses on three goals for youth:

  • Explore different career paths and fields
  • Work on the skills needed to achieve their career goals
  • Uncover their strengths and passions to inform career decisions

The Office of Children and Families, Philadelphia Works, and the School District of Philadelphia lead the program.
