Abstract	A strong and vibrant economy is reliant on a strong and vibrant workforce equipped with the necessary skills, competencies, and knowledge. Afterschool and summer learning programs play an integral role readying students for their career pathways; not only helping them develop the foundational skills that are critical across the different contexts of their lives from an early age--including in school, in work, and in their everyday interactions--but providing them with opportunities that stretch their ideas of what is possible and of what they are capable. Programs introduce students to diverse career fields, teaching them about the array of jobs within each field and connecting them to internships and apprenticeships. Afterschool and summer learning programs are making sure that all students, regardless of their zip code, receive the supports that will follow them from school to the workforce, as they make the transition into successful adults.
