The virtual release event featured education, industry, government, and community leaders engaged in valuable discussions about our nation’s capacity to build a strong career readiness infrastructure—one that prepares today’s youth to find future success.


The Boston University Wheelock College Center for Future Readiness, under the leadership of Dr. V. Scott Solberg, produced the 2023 Report, the State Map on Career Readiness Policies, Resources, and Performance, and other supplementary materials for the Coalition for Career Development (CCD) Center. These resources illustrate how cross-sector consensus can make career readiness the first priority of American education and workforce development.

The Coalition for Career Development (CCD) Center is an industry-led nonpartisan coalition committed to making career readiness the first priority of American education and workforce development. We collaborate with educators and educational institutions, business and industry champions, workforce development leaders, policymakers and other government entities who—like you—are dedicated to enhancing career planning, professional career advising, applied and work-based learning, career development technology, and accountability.
