This session will provide information, links, and data regarding the State of California (and others) CTE Initiative 'Cradle to Career'. Education is ever evolving - Today's secondary education systems are diligently working toward establishing agreed up and clearly defined partnerships with local Community Colleges, Universities, and Industry Partners. Many Career Tech classes are no longer elective courses but articulated multi-level pathways providing certifications, internship and apprenticeship opportunities to high school students to better prepare them for the world of work. Learn how you can make connections with your local school district and become a partner in helping them secure supplemental federal and state grant funding while training your future workforce.
