Jenny Kane
Career and Technical Education Lead at Bloomberg Philanthropies
New York, New York, U.S.A.
Jenny is responsible for managing Bloomberg Philanthropies’ Career and Technical Education (CTE) portfolio. The portfolio supports programs in high schools that provide training, credentials, certifications, and work-based learning, such as apprenticeships and internships, to help young people obtain employment in these high-growth industries. In 2024, Bloomberg Philanthropies announced a $250 million initiative to create new high schools around the nation that will graduate students directly into high-demand healthcare jobs with family-sustaining wages. This first-of-its-kind initiative pairs public education systems and hospitals in both urban and rural communities to create innovative high schools that will collectively hold over 7,300 students at full capacity.
