Career Awareness
"Enhancing our approach to career and technical education to prepare students for high-growth careers, we are particularly supportive of rigorous, relevant programs of study that span the secondary and postsecondary systems and that apply classroom-based instruction and work-based learning to meet academic, employability, and technical industry standards. This systemic approach relies on partnerships among K-12 schools, institutions of higher education, and employers." [OVOE (Office of Vocational and Adult Education) and the U.S. Department of Education 2011 goal statement.]
