In Project Riverbank, schools emphasize career applications, employees reinforce academic lessons, and students gain experience in the adult world of work. It's a new way of preparing students for entry into college and careers by making academic lessons more relevant to life outside the classroom. Students taught in this manner do better academically, and gain a better under- standing of the skills needed to by successful after graduation. Each pathway provides a broad overview of its industry, exposing students to a variety of career options through classroom instruction, guest speakers and industry tours.
