How are Career and Technical Education and School-to-Work programs related?
School-to-work or School-to-careers is an umbrella term that unites all career-related education, such as career exploration, tech prep, cooperative education and career and technical education. School-to-work, a term codified by a federal act passed in 1994, has spurred states and local school districts to establish more formal education systems to ensure that all students have knowledge of career pathways and opportunities to learn career skills “hands on,” especially through internships or other forms of work-based learning.
