Welcome to the Pipeline Project

This blog, provided by the Southern Tier Teacher Center Network (STTCN) through a NYS Workforce grant, offers resources, suggestions and lesson plan designed to promote career studies in your classroom. Although it can be used independently, this blog is organized in conjunction with the 2009-2010 desk calendar, provided to Southern Tier educators by the STTCN also through the grant. Periodically throughout the blog posts are images of individuals participating in various occupations. An attempt has been made to include lesser known occupations among these. We hope that this, along with the calendar, serves as a valuable educational resource.

Searching This Blog

If you are working from the Pipeline Calendar provided by the STTCN (Southern Tier Teacher Center Network), you may find an extended post that completes each calendar entry by placing the date, e.g., November 02 or 11/02, in the search engine in the upper left.
