Career Pathways Program Clause Samples

Career Pathways Program. Secondary students in grades 9-12 are eligible to participate in the Career Pathways Program. The promotion of the program and the revision of Career Pathways Articulation Agreements is a collaborative effort between all the consortium partners. Guidance counselors register students in an articulated, sequential program of study (including a technical component), which leads to continued study at the postsecondary level. Career Pathways programs consist of four years of high- level academic and technical courses at the high school level, articulated (or connected) with continued high-tech training in college, often resulting in an industry level certification. Students prepare for postsecondary training by following a program of study as outlined in the Career Pathways Articulation Agreements between the School Board and the College. Per the Gold Standard Career Pathways Articulation Agreements of Industry Certification to AS Degree in 2021 - 2022, high school students successfully completing the high school portion of the Career Pathways Program can earn college credits which may be used in a declared AS Program of Study through Industry Certification or “credit by examination.” They may also receive preferential admission to selective college programs. After a student meets all criteria outlined in the Career Pathways Articulation Agreement, including successful completion of 12 hours of regular college credit (not including prep courses), he/she can request that the credit be added to their college transcript by completing the Request for Career Pathways Credit form and returning it to the Director of Dual Enrollment and Career Services. Please refer to the Florida Department of Education web site for more information. The College Director of Dual Enrollment and Career Services is the coordinator of the Career Pathways Articulation Agreements.
