No longer do students planning to go to work after high school need a different and less rigorous curriculum than those planning to go to college.” Disconnect Between Student Aspirations and High School Preparation 100 97 80 63 60 60 46 40 Students 20 0 Aspire to attend college Enroll in college Source: NCES, The Condition of Education, 2000, p. 151. Take "new basics" minimum courses Take "College prep" courses CTE High School Course Taking Source: National Assessment of Vocational Education, 2004 Challenges for Modern CTE All youth need a high level of core academic skills, regardless of their chosen educational and career path. Many high schools and traditional voc-ed are not currently designed to meet this objective Millions of adults currently in the workforce also need to strengthen and acquire new academic and technical skills. Connections between high schools, college and employers must be strengthened. Perkins Reauthorization: Emerging Consensus Career Pathway Programs (“Model Sequence of Courses”) Partnerships between high schools and postsecondary institutions. Challenging academic core. Non-duplicative technical courses leading to degree or certificate. Career pathways that are in-demand and lead to economic self-sufficiency. At least one offered by each local grant recipient.

CCTI network can be a voice for rigorous academic and technical skill expectations in secondary and postsecondary. CCTI network can help states expedite development and approval of Career Pathways/Model Sequences. CCTI network can engage and help transform existing Tech Prep consortia to follow the rigorous Career Pathway criteria. www.ed.gov/highschool www.ed.gov/communitycollege Hans Meeder, Deputy Assistant Secretary Office of Vocational and Adult Education United States Department of Education, March 2005
