D.E.B. is a career-readiness program designed to engage high school students in cultivating their dreams, exploring various careers, and building promising futures. Through a series of intentionally designed experiences, students receive interactive learning through curriculum and professional development workshops and receive a paid summer internship. From recruitment to completion, the goal of this 11-month experience is to ensure that students exude confidence, express professionalism, and embrace a career-ready mindset.

Our career exploration curriculum includes 300 hours of instruction, reflection, sharing, peer-to-peer feedback, and a paid internship. The program continues with career assessments, talent and value evaluations, and is followed by career field research. A well-rounded program, D.E.B. also equips students with time management, conflict resolution, and money management workshops. Our goal is for students to thrive as professional leaders in our global workforce and beyond.
