Public Law 7-2011 Allowed For:
• New program standards, new policies, statewide commonality with
regional inflection; new emphasis on professional development

• Emphasize occupationally-based education and training – focus on
nationally recognized certification/credential/degree
• Career counseling and intensive case management for academic and
employment goals; use of assessments in developing academic and
career plan
• Braided funding; streamlined services; no wrong entry point
• Design new data system with real-time tracking; new focus on
performance outcomes; emphasis on speed and educational
attainment
• And more!
