CTE High-Quality Framework: Sequencing & Articulation --> Career Pathways Systems
Post what you've learned about this topic and how you intend to apply it. Feel free to post questions and comments too.
This module gave me the larger system my POS sits inside. I know my piece well, the secondary-to-postsecondary sequence with credentials / employer engagement, and the module placed that inside the broader WIOA career pathways system that also pulls in workforce boards, adult education, community organizations, and braided funding across public and private sources. The piece that landed hardest is braided funding and cross-agency partnership, because those are exactly the levers that could move the resourcing problems I keep hitting on my own. I intend to apply it by connecting my pathways to the workforce-board side of the system I've underused, and by treating funding as something I can braid from multiple public and private sources to move the resourcing I can't cover alone.
All PAC members should have a major input on the design of your CTE program to ensure that you are teaching students relevant things to the program at hand
I've learned that all stakeholders should have input or curriculum and design of CTE programs. This will ensure that students are prepared with the needed skills to secure in demand, high wage, high skills jobs upon graduation.
