It\u2019s hard to think of a more immersive training than the hands-on, work-based learning that Illinois students receive in a Career and Technical Education (CTE) program. These courses preview what a future career might look like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Engaging and successful CTE programs rely on close partnerships with both employers and colleges. Local employers bring work-based learning to students so they can explore high-wage career paths in their communities. Colleges, through things like Dual Credit courses, help students get started on their college coursework while still in high school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We can help facilitate these partnerships by supporting a new Illinois House Resolution. Your support today will build the momentum for this thoughtful resolution to improve CTE collaboration and course access. Take action now!<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The research tells us that CTE partnerships work. Students who complete CTE programs are more likely to graduate high school and enroll in college.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet, improving access to CTE courses in underserved populations continues to be a challenge. The House Resolution, HR582, would study how to better facilitate the partnerships needed for successful CTE programs and also make recommendations intended to bring equitable access so more students can benefit from high-quality CTE programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Support for CTE courses means support for high school grads and their future careers. I hope you\u2019ll join us and stand with them today.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
