Career Paths implements leadership, college guidance and career development programs for young adults.  In addition to regularly scheduled Job Experience Days, College Workshops cover topics including college essay writing, financial aid, resume writing, and internship guidance.   

One of Tuesday's Children's largest Career Paths programs is Take Our Children to Work Day.  Conducted annually for children ages 7 through 17, Take Our Children to Work Day offers a close-up look at organizations and careers of interest, helping participants visualize their future. This program continues to grow in size and scope every year.  To date, over 600 children and 40 corporate partners, have come together to engage in a day of inspiration, creativity and opportunity.  To read about last year's program, click HERE.

Testimonials

"Where should I begin to thank you for Take Our Children to Work Day?  My son James spent the day with the NYPD!  A first for him!  He came home with the biggest smile, great stories and feeling of great importance.  He asked me when he could do that again.  Thank you, Thank you!" - Parent

"Thank you for giving me the opportunity to visit Michael Kors Company and see what really happens behind the scenes of a designers' collection.  This was a wonderful experience for me to be exposed to the other side of fashion and it made me gain more knowledge from this day.  I enjoyed it so much and it made me realize that I need to be determined to succeed in this field and to be the best that I can.  I am really grateful to have had the opportunity to meet with Michael Kors and everyone else who works with this company.  Many young children look up to them and they inspire us all to follow in their footsteps.  I hope to apply for their internship in the future." - Participant

Teen Programs

Our Teen Programs engage teens early and often. Starting with enrichment programs for middle school children, the guidance continues, preparing adolescents for college and careers through interactive workshops/SAT review courses, seminars, and leadership programs.

Tuesday’s Children also offers specific career shadow days and career planning workshops for students graduating from college and adults re-entering the workforce. Tuesday’s Children partners with respected organizations such as Howard Greene & Associates, Fordham University, Kaplan TestPrep, Habitat for Humanity and Outward Bound to develop targeted programs.

We assist students interested in exploring college and internship opportunities, actively engaging them in the process, sharing the knowledge and tools needed to manage their own careers throughout their lives.
