The document discusses partnerships between schools, businesses, and post-secondary institutions to strengthen career technical education (CTE) pathways for students. It proposes a four-phase approach where in phases one and two, students in 9th and 10th grades are exposed to local industries and careers through speakers, tours, and mentors. Phase three involves internships for all 11th graders. Phase four includes paid internships and college courses for eligible 12th graders to further prepare them for their post-secondary plans. The goal is to provide students with hands-on learning, workplace skills, and guidance from industry professionals to help them enter the workforce or continue their education.
