Thank you for highlighting the importance of CTEprograms. As someone who has dedicated my career to advocating for CTE, I couldn't agree more with your insights. In my recent book, I dive into the transformative power of CTE and its ability to bridge the gap between education and real-world careers. Your point about rejecting the false choice between college and CTE is crucial—CTE programs offer pathways that integrate academic learning with practical skills, preparing students for a wide range of careers, including those requiring higher education. The success stories you shared resonate deeply with my experiences. By providing nationally-recognized certifications and fostering partnerships with public universities, local businesses, and industries, CTE programs equip students with the tools they need for lifelong success. It's essential that we continue to support and expand these opportunities to ensure that every student can thrive. Let's continue to advocate for CTE as a vital component of our education system, one that prepares students not just for jobs, but for meaningful careers. Thank you for your commitment to this important cause 😊

How Can CTE Programs in High Schools Bridge the Gap Between Education and Career Success? Career Technical Education (CTE) programs, like the ones offered at Oakmont High School, play a critical role in preparing students for real-world success. By combining academic knowledge with hands-on experience, these programs equip students with the technical skills they need to thrive in today’s workforce. But where’s the missing link?

👀 Stumbled across the #College & #Career Success course recently developed by Connecticut State Community College system led by O. John Maduko, M.D. and am impressed by the approach and design: - Required 3-credit #CareerDevelopment course in a students first semester that facilitates career awareness and exploration. *Importantly, this isn't First Year Seminar with only one class on careers... it's the next-step evolution of that approach. - Aligned to #GeneralEducation learning outcomes--including diversity, equity, and inclusion--to satisfy required credits and not creating unusable (and later stranded) credits - Part of the broader #GuidedPathways approach that leverages governance and change management infrastructure to co-design with faculty and staff - Passed a #system-wide policy that ensures equity in the student experience across the state system [This is similar to the work that Mary Gatta and Niesha Ziehmke did at Guttman Community College CUNY called "#EthnographiesOfWork," a model to strive for] These are just two of what is hopefully a windfall of other institutions recognizing the need to front load career awareness and exploration as a required part of general education that prepare students to make more informed choices about their future. One of the next steps in the movement is to ensure that the #skills learners gain from these types of coursers--and their program broadly--are visible, verifiable, and digitally discoverable.
