We’re thrilled to share our partnership with Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS), reflecting our commitment to connecting students with meaningful real-world experiences to help them see what they can be. This collaboration significantly enhances work-based learning (WBL) management, helping prepare students for success in their future careers. 

At Kuder, we pride ourselves on being leaders in educational technology, and our dedicated team is passionate about developing solutions that foster career readiness. Our innovative tools help students identify and connect with opportunities that align with their unique skills and aspirations. By integrating Kuder Navigator’s comprehensive resources into the MCPS framework, we are working to bolster the WBL program following the Maryland State Department of Education’s initiatives. These guidelines are pivotal in supporting students as they navigate the various stages of career development, from career exploration to hands-on experience in the workforce. 

Our partnership represents a significant advancement in preparing MCPS students for their careers. It ensures they are not only ready to enter the workforce but are also competitive and confident in their chosen career paths. By blending academic lessons with practical applications, we are creating a robust ecosystem of learning that emphasizes real-world relevance. This approach will enhance the career readiness of MCPS students, making them confident in their postsecondary plans and valuable assets in the workforce. 

“We were thrilled learn about all of the innovative capabilities Kuder could offer our district,” said Shawn Krasa, MCPS Work-Based Learning Supervisor. “Their ability to offer a research-based career interest assessment to power right-fit Work-Based Learning experiences and recommendations for students really stood out to our team as a foundational step for our program.”
