Coffee with Karl: Aligning K-12 Curriculum to Career and Education Pathways

=New Date and New Time=

Career-oriented pathways have great power to capture a young person’s (future workforce) interest and help maintain excitement for a bright future while they are still in high school.

When districts, schools, colleges, and employers get together to build a well-aligned pathway, it creates low-risk, high-potential opportunities for students who are still building their vision for themselves and allows them to “try on” various skill sets and opportunities without the financial and time costs that would come if they were to wait until college to explore a career discipline.

Such pathways —when well-executed with mentors, job shadows, career speakers, and extra counseling support—can propel students (future workforce) far beyond the goals they may have once aspired to and help them make immediate connections between the learning taking place at school and opportunities that exist beyond their K-12 experience.

On THURSDAY at 9am, join Karl as he discusses the importance of aligning K-12 curriculum to career and education pathways with Tri-Tech Skills Center’s Director, Paul Randall and CBC’s Director of CTE Dual Credit and College in the High School, Keeley Gant.

SPECIAL GUESTS:
