Teacher says district track certification opens direct apprenticeship pathways
Summary
Nelson County program teacher Matthew DS told the board that the Kentucky track certification lets students enter participating apprenticeships; he reported seven apprenticeship signings with IBW and one with ARMAG last year.
At the Aug. 18 board meeting, electrical teacher Matthew DS told the board that the district's electrical pathway and an industry-aligned track certification create direct pathways into apprenticeships.
"Students who complete the electrical track pathway earn an industry recognized certification that provides them with direct entry into participating apprenticeships," DS said. He told the board that last year seven students signed apprenticeship agreements with the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBW) and one student signed with ARMAG. DS credited partnerships with industry and Elizabeth Town Community and Technical College for providing training equipment and dual-credit course alignment.
DS also described curriculum elements intended to move students into careers and postsecondary options, and he recognized partners onstage: Sam Story (IBW), Stephen Burch (IEC), and Gretchen Kerzinger (Elizabeth Town Community and Technical College). Board members and staff emphasized that the certification and direct-entry agreements shorten the pathway from high school to the workforce.
