Webinar:

Preparing Philadelphia Students
for Jobs That Don’t Exist Yet

Philadelphia schools are under growing pressure to prepare students for a rapidly changing workforce shaped by artificial intelligence, robotics, engineering, automation, and emerging technologies.

But many K–12 systems were never originally designed to teach the careers now shaping the future economy.

Join NextWaveSTEM for a practical webinar focused on how schools can bridge the gap between traditional education and future workforce readiness through scalable, career-connected STEM and CTE programs.

This session will explore how districts, principals, CTE leaders, and educators can create meaningful STEM pathways that increase student engagement while exposing learners to real-world careers in high-demand industries.

Topics include:

• AI and emerging technology in K–12 education

• Career-connected STEM learning

• Robotics, drones, and engineering pathways

• Student engagement through hands-on learning

• Workforce readiness and economic mobility

• Scalable implementation strategies for urban schools

• Reducing barriers to STEM and CTE adoption

Attendees will also learn how schools can implement modern STEM experiences without requiring massive infrastructure expansion or overwhelming teachers with additional planning demands.

Whether your school is exploring STEM expansion, strengthening CTE pathways, or looking for more effective ways to prepare students for future careers, this webinar will provide actionable insights designed specifically for today’s educational landscape.
