The Charles River Consortium is made up of the communities of Brookline, Newton, Waltham, and Wellesley. The mission of the Charles River Consortium is to create a shared system of career education resources for the four communities and to improve and expand existing career initiatives in the four communities. The CRC emphasizes career awareness, exploration, and readiness for all young people. Young people gain the skills and knowledge necessary to succeed in an increasingly competitive global economy and technologically advanced world. Schools gain valuable resources from the business world and community- mentors, business partners, advisors, technology, funding, and meaningful work experiences for young people.
Businesses benefit from a more skilled workforce.
Parents benefit by knowing that their children will be prepared for the future. Communities benefit by becoming a better place to live and work.
