Ask HN: Help developing tech-focused curriculum for Bay Area high school

Hello! Background: I am a high school teacher at a school in the Bay Area that is adopting a focus in tech. Our goal is to have our kids get jobs in tech after they graduate. We're offering courses in computer literacy and introductory coding, and are trying to get all teachers to integrate more tech-focused assignments in classes, including discussing tech as a topic and using more tech in all classes. I have been designated tech curriculum developer, because I am young and proficient with tech for an English major (i.e. I make documents in LaTeX and have played around with coding). However, I am dealing with tech-phobic faculty, so myself and a few other colleagues do not have much support in finding opportunities for our students. I work at an alternative school in a rough area. Our kids face enormous challenges, but are incredibly tough, resilient, and learn quickly (most have had really terrible school experiences, many were not their fault). We are in a high-poverty area and few of our students go to 4 year colleges (many go to community college). Most get low-paying service jobs after they graduate and continue to live in poverty. But they have dreams, and they are intelligent and wonderful. I want the best opportunities for them, and with the growing tech world in the Bay Area, I want them to be prepared for the future. Questions: My questions for this community are: what opportunities exist within your fields for students such as mine? What internships and entry level jobs are available where you work? What skills should we teach them to be prepared for those jobs? What areas (frontend, backend, IT infrastructure) within the tech world would be best for students who will not be able to go to a 4 year college? We're working to create a partnership with Hack the Hood and Girls Who Code, but any other organizations that you know of that are trying to outreach to high schools would be great.
