States are stepping up to change that. At this year’s National Summit on Education, you can learn how policymakers are revisiting the journey into college and career. From best-in-class innovations and robust partnerships to work-based learning and career-essential skills for all, these can’t-miss strategy sessions are the place to learn more. Every state leader and school system can meet the challenge of putting their students on a pathway to lifelong success.
We hope you will join us in November for these strategic discussions on strengthening pathways to college and career:
States are placing more emphasis than ever on top-tier pathways into both college and career. Why? To supercharge results for learners, communities and the economy. Yet only a handful of states are taking actionable steps to enrich the learning journey itself. Hear from leaders who are infusing innovation into their college and career pathways systems and using positive student outcomes as a driver for funding and program development.
When done right, college and career pathways provide intentional, career-aligned courses that span secondary and postsecondary education, embed work-based learning experiences and lead to credentials of value. Enter LAUNCH, a dynamic multi-organization initiative that is embarking on a mission to revitalize and enhance educational pathways. We’ll dig into lessons learned from three states as they work to prepare students for postsecondary and workforce success.
Data is everywhere. Yet the skills to extract insights and meaning in this vast ocean of information are much more limited. School systems can prepare young people with the skills and competencies they need in today’s “data economy.” Learn why data literacy and data science are so important in the workplace and what states are doing to prepare students to succeed in a data-driven world.
