OVERVIEW
 |
| |
|
| |
The Career
and Technical Education program plays a central role in the State Board and department
goal of improving students' secondary education experiences. It works with high schools
to help students pursue their career and life goals by providing career development
and academic courses and by expanding community and work-based learning opportunities.
It also provides leadership and support to Vermont's technical education system.
Secondary,
post-secondary, and adult technical education are provided through technical centers,
comprehensive high schools, and public and private colleges. The state is required
by 16 V.S.A. § 1531 to oversee technical education, to ensure that it is coordinated
with academic education, to make it accessible to adult and high school students,
and to coordinate it with workforce development efforts. The department meets these
responsibilities and supports continuous improvement in technical education by:
- Setting high
program standards that incorporate academic and industry standards;
- Developing
student assessments that lead to industry credentials;
- Developing
and upgrading programs to provide students with skills needed in the workplace;
- Providing
professional development for instructors to stay current with new approaches to programming,
developments in industry, and instructional technologies; and
- Action planning
driven by student performance.
