9. CURRENT PRACTICES
CTE Advisory Boards - State Requirement AND really great resource if done well.
Largely led by individual teachers
Employers cross district boundaries/Business fatigue
Work Based Learning
Speakers, Career Fairs mostly - left end of spectrum
ACE model (coordination with industry) not consistent across all CTE clusters DR
Promote communication among education, business, and industry regarding employment needs of the community;
Identify new and emerging fields (both local and global) and modify existing programs;
Strengthen programs by providing student competency lists and reviewing curriculum;
Ensure that each career pathway academic ladder matches the corresponding industry career ladder and promote career pathways within the community;
Review student outcomes (completion rates, placement rates, and state licensing examination outcomes);
Ensure that programs are relevant and up-to-date by assessing the equipment and facilities available and make recommendations as needed;
Provide work-based learning experiences for learners;
Provide training opportunities for educators;
Advocate programs to communities and legislators and seek legislative support for career pathways if needed;
Assist with placement of program completers; and leverage community resources (equipment, facilities, materials, and broker community partnerships).

11. THE MARKETPLACE
Let’s take a quick spin around the Marketplace!
Many businesses are saying “posting and hoping” isn’t working anymore! NL
The solution is to “home grow” a talent pipeline into your business/industry!

12. INSURANCE If employed (W2/W9), then on industry insurance
Can still access Educational Programming in lieu of Federal minor regulations
Business not employer of record - non paid
School district insurance carries a rider which extends the classroom learning environment
Football analogy - hold harmless
PPBEA will education local district superintendents/risk management NL
