IEDRC 23-01 Construction Pathway/Patient Care Pathway/Early Childhood Development Pathway

The project will focus on Construction, Patient Care, and Early Childhood Education Pathways. The focus includes the support of essential collaboration across education systems Alta Vista Innovation (AVI) between the K–12 sector and community colleges (Chaffey College) with involvement from industry businesses and organizations in strengthening CTE courses, programs, and pathways aligned with regional workforce needs. Additionally, AVI will further develop and strengthen high-quality, K–14 CTE course sequences, programs, and pathways that will (1) build foundational career path skills and early career exploration, (2) enable a seamless and successful transition from secondary to postsecondary education within the same or related career paths, (3) lead to completion of industry-valued certificates, or college transfers, (4) prepare students upon completion of education to enter into employment in occupations with a livable wage, (5) identify and close equity gaps by improving access to and completion of high- skill/high-wage CTE opportunities for disproportionately impacted students, (6) facilitate K–12 student exploration and learning opportunities, and (7) contribute toward meeting the projected need for one million completers of CTE programs aligned with the state’s labor market.
