DJP programs bring children in touch with careers information, real-world role models and behind the scenes insights at a much younger age than when students typically focus on career planning during high school. We share a variety of paths to achieving career success that match different skills, learning styles and interests with elementary and middle school children. Our goal is to counter-balan
ce common misconceptions that can prevent even young students from thorough exploration of aspirations that are essential to eventually achieving accomplished, impactful and fulfilling careers. While the impact of one-on-one mentoring can be powerful, DJP programs assist groups of students with their exploration of the world, understanding of their aptitudes and preferences relative to the world around them - key steps on the way to forming a vision of his/her own place in the world. Combined with high quality teaching and robust formal curricula, real-world, passion-based learning can be an inspiring and motivating approach to get student to own their education and their future.
