PA Career Education & Work Standards (CCS-515) Lesson #3 Today's Job Market

"Considering how competitive the job market has become, it’s never too early to start to think about your career. “What are you going to do when you grow up?” is a common question, even for elementary school children, but today, high schoolers are reportedly planning ahead and seeking internships to help them get into college and land job opportunities down the road. 

Millennial Branding, a Gen Y research and consulting firm, and Internships.com, the world’s largest internship marketplace, announced a new study, “High School Careers,” which surveyed 4,769 students (172 high school students and 4,597 college students) and 326 employers from across the country. The study found high schoolers are actually more entrepreneurial than college students. Many high school students surveyed are interested in internships to get new skills, work experience and to network."

About the Code.org Accelerated Course (International): Excerpt taken directly from https://code.org/educate/curriculum/cs-fundamentals-international Our International Computer Science Fundamentals courses are translated into over 25 languages. The different courses support students aged 4-18. Each course has 10-20 lessons that may be implemented as one unit or over the course of a semester. Students study basic programming concepts and develop interactive games or stories they can share.
