  6. This is not the solution… Credentials must be meaningful and purposeful

  7. “Secondary, postsecondary and adult courses, programs, training and services administered by the division of professional-technical education for occupations or careers that require other than a baccalaureate, master's or doctoral degree. The courses, programs, training and services include, but are not limited to, vocational, technical and applied technology education. They are delivered through the professional-technical delivery system of public secondary and postsecondary schools and colleges.”

  14. Challenges and Opportunities • Career Guidance • A common thread in reform efforts • Education plans v. graduation/career development plans • Professional development/support for defined efforts • Purposeful career readiness

  15. Challenges and Opportunities • Alignment Efforts • Vertical and horizontal • Industry and opportunity first • Operating as a true system • Distributed programs • Articulation/ALO’s • Available funds with priority activities

  16. Challenges and Opportunities • Authentication • Credit for prior learning • Serving returning veterans with leveraged skill set • Outcomes basis rather than curriculum focus • “Why” rather than “what” or “how”

  17. Challenges and Opportunities • Data Enhanced Improvement • Data quality • Seamless data systems • Clear measures of performance • Clear measures of relevance • Return on investment • Continuous improvement, not just accountability and compliance

  18. Challenges and Opportunities • Forgotten Populations • Those who don’t go on to college • The 40% • The 27% • Veterans • Displaced workers with low-middle skills
