 Strengthening Transitions by Encouraging Career Pathways: A Look at State Policies and PracticesThis report identifies ways in which state policies can support students’ academic and labor market success by creating coherent systems of preparation for students entering technical fields. In particular, the report focuses on state policies that support the implementation of career pathways, such as those encouraged by the U.S. Department of Education’s College and Career Transitions Initiative, which span secondary and postsecondary education and culminate in rewarding careers. “The U.S. Department of Education’s College and Career Transitions Initiative (CCTI) builds on previous efforts to connect secondary and postsecondary studies in career and technical areas… This report aims to assist CCTI by presenting a sample of state-level policies and legislation that support the implementation of career pathways and other strategies that facilitate education and employment transitions. This report highlights state policies that are promoting a seamless transition to college and careers and give examples of cases in which curricula, requirements, or assessments are being coordinated statewide.” © 2006 American Association of Community Colleges and League for Innovation in the Community College Link to: News Articles About this Report- Inside Higher Ed | Education Week Press Release | Brief Version of the Report Download the full-length version of the report by clicking on the PDF icon, below.
