CTE Programs:
Moving to Pathways with Courses
A Pathway Must:
1.Be associated with sector(s) within an industry or encompass a
function that crosses industry sectors.
2.The scope of a pathway may be influenced by size and number of
opportunities in the related industry and available college
programs.
3.Provide opportunities to prepare for a range of careers.
a.multiple employment opportunities after high school.
b.opportunities for students to enter and succeed in
postsecondary and continuing education programs.
4.Prepare students to transfer skills required for employment in the
range of occupations aligned to the pathway.
5.Be structured so that students have the opportunity to learn skills
across the pathway as well as in specialized areas.

“Credentials are relevant to employers only to the
extent that it leads to more productive employees.”
• Industry credential attainment will be reported on
Local District Report card and the CTE report
card. --Criteria will be forthcoming.
