Increase the number of students earning college credentials of economic value; Increase the rate of transfer to Bachelor’s degree programs following CCC graduation; Increase the quality and effectiveness of student services and support.

Summary

Utilizing funds from the U.S. Department of Education, this project is designed to improve student performance in career and technical education by way of:

Strengthening the connections between secondary and postsecondary education; Restructuring the way stakeholders - high schools, community colleges, universities, business and parents - work together; Increasing state and local accountability standards.

Through the Programs of Study (POS) incorporate all of the critical aspects of CTE: academic standards, CTE skills, a progression from secondary to postsecondary education, and a recognized credential. The term POS was a compromise between using career pathways and model sequence of courses.

• Incorporate secondary and postsecondary education elements;

• Include coherent and rigorous content aligned with challenging academic standards and relevant career and technical content in a coordinated, nonduplicative progression of courses that align secondary and

postsecondary education to adequately prepare students to succeed in postsecondary education;

• May include the opportunity for secondary education students to acquire postsecondary education credits, including through dual or concurrent enrollment; and

• Lead to an industry-recognized postsecondary credential, certificate, associate degree, or baccalaureate degree.

Students who complete a POS are expected to be prepared for either employment or advanced education.
