The Career Development Leaders Network

The Career Development Leaders Network was formed after the 2003 Governor's Institute on Career Education and Work to support the continued implementation of the Career Education and Work Standards in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The members of this network have worked diligently to create many of the documents that are included on this website.

Special thanks to the Bureau of Career and Technical Education for supporting this vision of making it possible for each and every student in Pennsylvania to understand themselves, the world of work, and how they fit into that world so that they can have happy and productive lives.
