Explora's Career Pathways Program at X Studio
In January 2023 we celebrated the opening of X Studio, Explora’s new teen center: a place to hang out, experiment, create, and learn. X Studio brings teens and their dreams together with cutting-edge tools, technologies, and mentors—all with a focus on STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art and math). As part of X Studio’s mission to increase engagement in, awareness of, and motivation to pursue STEM careers among local low-income teens of color, Explora is thrilled to announce the Career Pathways Program.
The primary goal of Explora's Career Pathways Program is to open a gateway for low-income youth to move beyond economic limitations and into intellectually stimulating, personally rewarding employment which serves the community, contributes to Explora's educational mission, and leads to expanded educational and career opportunities.
