Over the past year, we’ve been writing about different ways schools are trying to boost students’ resumes before they graduate from high school. We covered, for example, a district plan in Niagara Falls, New York, to add career training to every course, and whether career and technical initiatives can pique boys’ interest in school.
Historically, career and technical education was often siloed from traditional high school classes. Students were (and still are, sometimes) bused to CTE centers to take classes in fields like the building trades, cosmetology and entrepreneurship. Now, a lot of schools are combining the two in an effort to incorporate more workforce experience in a traditional high school setting.
College Board, which administers the SAT and Advanced Placement tests, has even started offering career-focused AP courses that can lead to both college credit and industry credentials, such as business and cybersecurity.
As K-12 schools evolve to better prepare students for the workforce, we want to know how it’s going, and we want to hear from you. We’re interested in learning about topics such as:
-
How schools are adapting to workforce changes because of artificial intelligence and other factors.
-
Examples of rigorous instruction that prepare graduates for post-high school life.
-
Successful models of career training in K-12 schools.
-
Career and college counseling.
-
Apprenticeships, work-based learning and partnerships with employers.
