County the dropout rate, estimated at 55%, is higher than the graduation rate. The current focus on career tech. ed. (CTE) is a measure of the intensity of the search for solutions. CTE -- with its real world relevance and project-based learning -- is a way to engage students in education that is different than a purely academic approach.

Download or read book Career Technical Education and Labor Market Demand written by National Association of State Directors of Career Technical Education Consortium (NASDCTEc) and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 2 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Current data indicates that Career Technical Education (CTE) graduates with high school diplomas or postsecondary skills are preparing for careers in fields that are growing or in high-demand. Matching employability skills with workforce demand has been an issue among industries across the nation. CTE provides relevant academic and technical coursework leading to industry-recognized credentials for secondary, postsecondary, and adult learners. Further, CTE affords students the opportunity to gain the knowledge, skills, and credentials needed to secure careers in growing, high-demand fields. The National Career Clusters[TM] Framework provides a vital structure for organizing and delivering quality CTE programs through comprehensive programs of study. In total, there are 16 Career Clusters[TM] in the Framework, representing more than 79 Career Pathways to help students navigate their way to greater success in college and career. Based on research that analyzes market needs in relation to the 16 Career Clusters[TM], the lists presented in this paper identify the Career Clusters[TM] that are expected to experience the fastest growth by 2018, and the Career Clusters[TM] projected to have the largest total employment by 2018. Many CTE programs maintain alignment of their courses to labor market demands by staying attuned to the needs of local businesses and industries. CTE helps students attain high-demand skills, preparing them for postsecondary education and increasing their future labor market competitiveness. Labor market projections, such as those shown in this brief, can aid CTE educators and other stakeholders as they work to prepare students for postsecondary education and careers.

Download or read book Career and Technology Education written by Maryland State Department of Education and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Career Technology Education (CTE) provides high school and community college students an opportunity to pursue a sequential technical and academic program of study leading to advancement in a career field. High school CTE programs of study give students the opportunity to transition smoothly into further education or postsecondary education and to earn college credit and/or industry credentials in a career field of interest. Maryland leads the nation in the redesign of CTE programs as called for in the federal Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Improvement Act of 2006. The Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE) works closely with the Governors Workforce Investment Board (GWIB) to identify new programs in response to Maryland's workforce development needs and to ensure all CTE programs of study keep pace with industry expectations and prepare students for their next steps toward college and careers. Maryland CTE programs of study are statewide model programs designed to prepare high school students for the 21st Century's global economy and its rapidly changing workforce needs. All CTE programs are aligned to established academic and technical skill standards to ensure student preparation for college and careers. These programs also include work-based learning opportunities (e.g., internships, clinical experiences, or industry-mentored projects) tied to the student's area of interest. Upon completion of a Maryland CTE program of study, students also have the option to earn college credits and/or industry-recognized credentials such as certifications and licenses. The Maryland CTE programs of study outlined in this document serve as a resource for local school systems and their community college partners. The programs included in this document are MSDE-developed programs designed with state and national-level partners, are standardized across the state and include opportunities for state-wide professional development for teachers. For each Career Cluster, MSDE has identified several new Maryland CTE programs of study for development. Most of the programs listed have been completed and are offered throughout Maryland. However, several programs are currently under development. [This document was developed using funds authorized under the Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Improvement Act of 2006, as amended by Public Law 109-270.].
