Pathways
In February 2011, Harvard Graduate School of Education published a landmark report, Pathways to Prosperity, outlining the need for multiple career pathways to be incorporated into the American education system. This report sparked national conversations in business, industry and education. Over the next year, this report became a call to action for states wanting to better prepare their students for success. In response, NCCER used its voice in the industry to promote Career and Technical Education, which has been a consistent goal of NCCER’s through its Build Your Future (BYF) initiative since 1997. BYF has released of a multitude of teacher resources, videos and student outreach guides in recent years.
NCCER began hosting its annual national conference in 2013 aimed at bringing together industry representatives and education professionals. With its first meeting done, dramatic changes have been implemented across the country to better facilitate these critical career pathways. Consider joining us during our next meeting in November.
