College and Career Transitions Initiative
Background
Nearly two-thirds of America’s high school graduates enter college, yet more than half of those students drop out before receiving a four-year degree. The College and Career Transitions Initiative (CCTI) helps to ensure that high school students have the necessary academic and technical skills needed to succeed in postsecondary education.
Overview
CCTI develops model career pathways and implementation strategies that ease student transitions from secondary to postsecondary education. The career pathways align a series of challenging academic and career related courses from high school through college and are organized around broad occupational areas. Opportunities for students include earning postsecondary dual enrollment credits during their 11th and 12th grades. TenFifteen promising partnerships are being supporteddeveloped, each consisting of at least one high school, one community or technical college, and two employers. Below are the initial occupational areas being developed:
▪ Information Technology
▪ Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics
▪ Education and Training
▪ Health Science
▪ Law, Public Safety, and Security
The CCTI is led by the League for Innovation in the Community College in partnership with the American Association of Community Colleges, the Center for Occupational Research and Development, the Southern Regional Education Board, the Chauncey Group International, the Community College Survey of Student Engagement, and the University of Texas at Austin’s Community College Leadership Program.
