The Detroit Economic Club’s Career Readiness Academy (CRA) is a six-month program designed to teach career exploration skills to high school students throughout S.E. Michigan. During this journey, the same team of DEC Young Leader mentors and students connect to explore topics like future hot jobs, career economics, networking & interview skills, and how to market yourself.

This experience not only provides the opportunity for more personalized attention throughout sessions but also forges important mentor-mentee relationships.
