Report
The National and Global Perspective
The National and Global Perspective
Post-Secondary Education (PSE) is necessary to
compete in the global economy in 2010 and
beyond:
Between 1973 and 2007, we added 63 million jobs
Jobs held by those with no more than a High
School education fell by 2 million over this period
Workers with a HS education or less now make
up just 41% of workforce, as compared to 72% in
1971

On Average, PSE leads to
Much Higher Earnings

The National and Global Perspective
“College for All” needs to be broadened to
mean a meaningful “Post-High School
Education (PSE) credential” for All
A meaningful credential can be earned in
many ways:
Industry
Certifications
Technical Degrees
Community College
Apprenticeships
The Military
Four year college
-- Bill Symonds, Harvard University
Multiple Pathways defined:
A robust and viable system of public
education programs of study that span
grades 6 to 16, and prepare students
for both post secondary education and
their choice of gainful careers.
Multiple Pathways
Key Elements:



Pathways are organized around broad industry
sectors (e.g., specialty trades, biomedical & health
science, engineering, military, or digital media),
Pathways integrate college-prep academics with
career technical coursework using a projectbased approach,
Pathways include a work-based learning
component that brings additional relevance and
connection to the pathway learning experience.

Our Vision for the Future
Globally Competitive and High Performing
“The need to re-imagine and remake career and technical education is urgent.
CTE has an enormous, if often overlooked impact on students, school systems,
and our ability to prosper as a nation.”
