Career coaches from across the state and beyond have earned their Agilities certification through The DeBruce Foundation. All career coaches working with ECESC receive this training, equipping them with tools to help students identify their strengths, explore career possibilities, and prepare for what comes next.

Last year, K–12 grant activities reached 39,854 students. With new coaches trained and ready to go, we’re excited to build on that impact and create even more career-connected opportunities for students in 2026–27!
