Reimagining K-12: The Future of Career-Connected Learning
This panel of insightful voices leading innovation in U.S. education discusses how you can ensure every student is equipped for success in college, career, and beyond.
Across the country, education leaders are reimagining traditional career and technical education, embracing a more expansive “career-connected learning” (CCL) model that prepares students to graduate ready for both college and career, not one or the other. No longer just a separate course of learning designed for a small segment of students, true career-connected learning is designed for all secondary students, enabling them to explore interests, experience options, and prepare to thrive in the workforce of the future.
In this session, hear from the following national experts:
- Jamie Candee — President & CEO, Edmentum
- Deb Delisle — former Assistant Secretary, U.S. Department of Education
- Donald Fennoy II — former Superintendent, School District of Palm Beach County
- Tim Taylor — Co-founder and President, America Succeeds
The panel discusses the following and more:
- The why and why now of expanded CTE programs, according to national leaders and policymakers
- Why a more comprehensive approach to career and technical education is foundational to an effective and resilient K-12 system
- How integration of durable skills essential for high-impact career sectors equips learners to succeed in the ever-shifting world of work
- What it means to truly prepare all students for postsecondary success and how to invest in the future, today
