 * Preparing Students for a Global Workforce**

The Upper Dublin School District prepares students to become life-long learners in a global society. The main approach to prepare students for the jobs of the future and equip them with the flexibility to move into jobs that don’t yet exist is by developing creativity, adaptability, and problem –solving skills, in addition to core technical skills. It is also important to provide exposure to a wide range of career pathways and opportunities for students to gain experiences to make good choices. This can be accomplished through a comprehensive K-12 career development curriculum. It should be broader than vocational-technical education and be relevant for all students, both college bound and non-college bound.
