One of the biggest challenges students face is the contradiction and questions raised as to what degree they truly need to prepare for their future. As a consortium, it is our goal to help parents and students discover and answer these questions through intentional career planning, exploration, and preparation from career and technical education programs. 

There is not one right answer as a high school student navigates their career pathway toward their future! What we propose is that students and parents try not to limit their choices by the perceptions or stigma of the past, but keep their minds and options open to today’s trends. The real question for families may be not be just to what degree they will invest to fulfill their child’s passion toward a career, but how can they minimize the indebtedness of the process.
