At The DeBruce Foundation, we work alongside education and community partners to help individuals explore, plan, and prepare for jobs of the future. Together, we can prepare students for empowered careers through our new, fully funded, K-12 Career Literacy Resources.
Get to know the new K-12 Career Literacy Resources
The K-12 Career Literacy resources provide educators, career counselors, and parents with support to prepare youth for bright future careers.
These resources are available for free as part of The DeBruce Foundation’s charitable mission.
Through The DeBruce Foundation’s Agilities framework, students explore their skills, understand their strengths and interests, and learn how to use them for their future careers.

The K-12 Career Literacy resources are designed to be integrated into any curriculum. They grow with students on their way to careers. Click below to start exploring right away!
