Presenters outline guaranteed CTE experiences and certification expectations
Summary
The district proposed "guaranteed experiences" — grade-level, pathway-aligned industry exposures and capstone internships — and provided examples of required certifications (CPR, safety certificates similar to OSHA) with variable certificate durations.
District presenters described a tiered set of "guaranteed experiences" that would ensure students in a pathway encounter age-appropriate industry exposure: guest speakers and field trips in 9th grade, hands-on trade experiences and mentoring in 10th and 11th, and capstone internships or dual enrollment in 12th grade. They emphasized these experiences would be built into pathway curricula and the new cluster framework.
On certifications, presenters listed core, pathway-linked certificates (CPR, sector safety certificates like SP2/NC3) and noted certificate durations vary from one to three years. "All of our programs that have hand tools use SP2, which is the safety, which is very similar to OSHA," one presenter said, adding that the district offers multiple certificates and some students have earned up to 14 certifications through existing programs.
