From College and Career Readiness Goals to a Funded, Connected Strategy
District leaders know what they want for students: stronger academic preparation, meaningful career exploration, and clear pathways beyond graduation. The challenge is bringing those pieces together, and finding the funding, capacity, and resources to make the work sustainable.
In this session, college and career readiness experts discuss moving from disconnected programs to one comprehensive strategy. We discuss how districts are connecting academics with career exploration, using available funding strategically, and building programs that give more students a clear path forward.
Learn how districts are:
• Bringing disconnected efforts together
Connecting academic preparation, career exploration, pathway planning, and skill development around shared student goals.
• Expanding access with available resources
Creating more opportunities for students while identifying potential state and federal funding sources to support and scale the work.
• Turning strategy into student impact
Applying practical lessons from districts that have built sustainable programs and can speak to what is working for students.
