Summary

The division’s Career Ready Advisory Committee recommended adding career coaches at each high school and exploring enrollment expansion at the New Horizons Career and Technical Center to increase student access to CTE programs.

Jessica Walter, director for school counseling and college and career readiness, presented the Career Ready Advisory Committee’s annual report to the board. Walter said the committee — which comprised 28 members this year — met regularly and provided prioritized recommendations.

Top recommendations included adding career coaches to each high school (the committee recommended adding two career‑coach positions to increase support across the three high schools) and supporting New Horizons Career and Technical Center in exploring options to expand enrollment through additional space or sites. The committee also identified five goals to guide its work next year, including expanding community and business partnerships and improving the WJCC College and Career Readiness web page.

Walter thanked committee members for their feedback and said a full annual report is available to the board and community.
