Mayor Brett Smiley has announced the Cradle-to-Career strategy for students attending Providence public schools.
The initiative is a coordinated approach that aims to ensure every child has access to the opportunities and individualized support needed to succeed from early childhood through graduation and into careers.
The mayor says the Cradle-to-Career plan will bring schools, city government and community partners together to better connect students and their families with programs, resources and opportunities available across Providence.
He says by working together, the city can ensure that every child receives the support they need at every stage.
