The Benefits of Career and Technical Education Programs for High Schoolers By Kate Rix Dec. 27, 2022,  Since that first school opened in Brooklyn in 2011, P-TECH, which stands for Pathways in Technology Early College High School, has expanded to a network of more than 200 high schools throughout the United States, offering career pathways including health, education, advertising, television and energy technology. “Our model is not just about job placement with industry partners,” Davis says. “It’s about taking advantage of the skills given to you. Some students don’t leave with an (associate) degree and choose to do college later, but they’re still better off in terms of preparedness than the traditional student.” https://lnkd.in/ekcN5cYW #weareptech #skillsfirst #skillsbuild #skills2030 Pathways in Technology Early College High School PTECH Brooklyn HS Alumni Network NYC Department of Education The City University of New York City Tech, CUNY IBM IBM iX The State University of New York New York State Education Department MDRC P-TECH 9-14 Pathways to Success: Implementation, Impact, and Cost Findings from the New York City P-TECH 9-14 Schools Evaluation New findings in this report indicate that the P-TECH model increased students' postsecondary degree completion, particularly for male students, and boosted internship and dual enrollment rates, even during the pandemic.

True or false: STEM classes in middle and high school *only* prepare students for careers in STEM. The answer? A resounding FALSE! As students explore potential careers and the college paths to take them there, they are finding that STEM learning nurtures skills such as creativity and problem-solving, which are widely applicable to all sorts of careers. Yet another reason to carefully choose classes that fulfill Science and Math A-G requirements!

Remarks by the President in the State of the Union Address February 12, 2013 Barack Obama "Let’s also make sure that a high school diploma puts our kids on a path to a good job. Right now, countries like Germany focus on graduating their high school students with the equivalent of a technical degree from one of our community colleges. So those German kids, they're ready for a job when they graduate high school. They've been trained for the jobs that are there. Now at schools like P-Tech in Brooklyn, a collaboration between New York Public Schools and City University of New York and IBM, students will graduate with a high school diploma and an associate's degree in computers or engineering.  We need to give every American student opportunities like this".
