NIESC is excited to bring Paxton Patterson Career Discovery Labs. Ignite student curiosity through a dynamic career exploration experience that brings learning to life. Students tackle real-world challenges, build essential skills, and uncover their interests and strengths through authentic, problem-based learning. Whether launching broad exposure across multiple Career Clusters or designing a focused pathway like STEM, College & Career Ready Labs deliver a powerful, proven approach to preparing learners for what’s next.

During the workshops, participants will receive training on the use and implementation of 11 Paxton/Patterson Career Discovery modules. Trained individuals will then be able to schedule a time to check out the module from NIESC to use with students.
