Jump Start Your Healthcare or Fitness Career


Carone Learning has Joined the College and Career Readiness Movement

“In today’s 21st century global economy, the choices are much more complex and interconnected than the traditional fork in the road that lead to college or an entry level job.  That fork has been replaced by numerous paths, all of which require a rigorous and rich high school experience that prepares all students- not just some- for college and a career.” U.S. Career Readiness Partner Council


The US Department of Education has issued a call to action for schools and communities to intensify their college and career readiness efforts, with the initiative of generating high school graduates that are college or career ready by the year 2020.

With a passion and expertise for the health and fitness industry, Carone Learning introduced their Career Pathways curriculum in 2012.
