Despite a significant investment, the State of California has struggled to develop career and technical education (CTE) pathways that lead to locally relevant, high-growth, high-demand careers. This brief highlights three major challenges.
The California Department of Education awarded $250 million to 40 new California Career Pathways Trust local and regional consortia, making a bold commitment to improving educational opportunities and outcomes across the state.
