Enhanced Career Pathways

By informing students of available career paths and the steps to achieve them, educators can equip their learners with the best tools to learn new skills and find careers that suit their interests. Adapting to your specific needs, our experts will give your teachers the tools they need to build a learning environment that is dedicated to student success. 

Improved Student Achievement and Engagement

Schools participating in our Carl Perkins Consortium have met and exceeded graduation rate expectations as students stay engaged and motivated through relevant and rigorous CTE programs. Leveraging these strategies can help better inform students’ education and career decisions, leading to higher engagement and achievement in the classroom. CESA 6 consultants will work hand-in-hand with educators to design customized strategies that align with your district’s curriculum and academic goals.

Consultation Services

Supporting CTE programs in schools helps support student learning and gives educators the tools they need to make a difference in their students’ lives. Our consultation services ensure that our CTE programs provide your educators with the most up-to-date information to assist students in making their career decisions. 

Career Readiness for Competitive Job Markets

Competing in a global labor market requires supplying your students with as many tools as possible to help them showcase their skills effectively to employers and college administrators. Our experts provide educators with ongoing professional development to hone their instruction skills and provide students with highly applicable skills and cutting-edge knowledge they need to answer their questions about their specific career paths, how to navigate their fields of study, and how to stand out to employers.

Robust Data Reporting

Holistic data analysis and accurate data collection gives educators the information they need to ensure student outcomes can be measured and examined for future CTE program success. 

Efficient Data Management

Consortium members benefit from the Perkins V data reporting requirements and standards to guide educators in best utilizing student information. This streamlined data collection system assists administrators in managing data to ensure accuracy and efficiency. When leveraging performance metrics, school systems can enhance their program’s effectiveness and student success.

Industry-Partnered Knowledge Sharing

When school districts participate in our CTE programs, partnerships with local businesses and deeper insights into growing industries become possible. Collaborating with local businesses and non-profit organizations can provide valuable job shadowing, apprenticeship, internship, and job opportunities for students. 

Strengthened Learning Experiences

Partnering with local businesses can assist students in their career readiness with valuable hands-on learning, industry-relevant knowledge, and in-demand job skills. Consortium participants can also effectively leverage Carl Perkins funding to enhance CTE programs, resulting in better-equipped classrooms with new technology, highly engaged students, and positive learning environments.
