¸Ô±¾ÊÓƵ and K12 Partnerships
Together, we can increase the college and career readiness of your high school students.
Through K12 Partnerships collaborations, ¸Ô±¾ÊÓƵ and its K12 partners are enabling students to earn college credits while still in high school.
School districts can customize their partnership collaborations to fit their capacity and goals:
- The majority of the region’s K12 school districts currently offer one or more dual credit classes, including transcripted credit, Advanced Standing, Start College Now and Youth Apprenticeship.
- Some K-12 districts have strengthened their commitment to college and career readiness by building career pathways for their students.
Regional Technical Academies
Partner with ¸Ô±¾ÊÓƵ and neighboring school districts to share resources and provide more early college opportunities for your students.
Career Pathways
Through career pathways, students can earn from 3 to 26 college credits toward specific careers – like nursing assistant and automotive – before they even graduate from high school! That strong start allows students to save thousands of dollars in tuition and makes it more likely they will persist and earn a post-secondary credential.
Career pathways clearly connect high school students to the workforce – with an emphasis on attaining a higher education credential.
Partnership Benefits
¸Ô±¾ÊÓƵ partners with school districts to create beneficial outcomes for students, the community, and workforce:
- Increased awareness of career pathways in technical occupations for high school students and their parents
- Increased engagement and performance of high school students through delivery of STEM curriculum and hands-on, industry-aligned learning
- Increased number of students pursuing a credential beyond high school, building and sustaining a skilled workforce in our communities
- Shared resources among educational partners and professional development opportunities for high school teachers
- Tuition savings for dual credit students upon transfer of credits to ¸Ô±¾ÊÓƵ (or other colleges/universities that accept the credits).
