| Abstract: | High school-based career-connected learning models can give students an early start on pursuing their postsecondary and career goals. Some models -- particularly career academies, career and technical education (CTE) programs of study, CTE dual or concurrent enrollment, early college high schools (ECHS), pathways in technology early college high schools (P-TECHs), and youth apprenticeships -- have been studied for their effects on student outcomes and show promising results. State legislators and education agency leaders seeking to bridge the gap between the education currently provided to students and the education they need to earn a family-sustaining wage should consider building on and scaling these models. Drawing on desk research and expert interviews, this brief defines these models and summarizes the evidence of their impact. It then identifies a set of key policies that are critical to the success and sustainability of these individual models. |
