Too many of our nation’s students are unprepared for the challenges they will face after high school. As a result, students are spending more on college for remedial courses, they are unprepared for careers so jobs are left unfilled, and states—and our nation—are experiencing unrealized economic growth.
But it doesn’t have to be this way. College and career pathway policies can bring purpose to learning by allowing students to earn authenticated skill sets informed by labor market demand and ensuring more rigorous courses are available and incentivized for all students.
ExcelinEd’s College & Career Pathways Policy Toolkit can support states as they work to equip students for the rigors of college and align K-12 career training and credentials to workforce need.
