Last night we welcomed members and friends to our fall 2024 education event, which focused on the opportunities generated by career and technical education (CTE). Over the past century, CTE has evolved into a rigorous academic option for students preparing for a variety of post-high school futures.
We were privileged to have two leading experts lead the conversation:
Robert B. Schwartz, emeritus professor of practice at the Harvard Graduate School of Education and co-founder of the Pathways to Prosperity Network, a network of K-12 and postsecondary education leaders, policymakers, and employers that develops college and career pathways to expand economic opportunity for young people and meet regional talent needs;
Dr. Erin Bibo, vice president, strategic initiatives, of CityWorksDC, whose mission is to dramatically improve the early career outcomes of DC youth and young adults of color by creating innovative programs and by mobilizing employers, educators, and city leaders to create a local, diverse talent pipeline.
Video of the discussion is available at the link above. We also recommend the following readings:
