Mayor Eric Adams and Schools Chancellor Melissa Aviles-Ramos unveiled plans Monday to add 36 new schools to the Future Ready NYC program, expanding the initiative to 135 schools and adding two new program pathways.
During the announcement at Boys and Girls High School in Brooklyn on Dec. 2, the mayor said this expansion aims to equip more students with real-world skills and prepare them for high-wage, high-growth careers, all while addressing the pressing need for a career-connected education in New York City.
