California High Schools Revamping Vocational Ed. ProgramsCalifornia Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger is at the helm of a statewide movement to push "career technical education" at the high school level. The goal of the new program, modeled after traditional vocational education programs but with a particular focus on modern technology in the workforce, is to bridge the gap between school and the workforce and combat growing dropout rates. "The one-size-fits-all is an approach that has not worked," Schwarzenegger spokeswoman Sabrina Lockhart told the Contra Costa Times. "The governor recognizes we need workers in the career tech field as well as other professional fields. We need to ensure students have the pathway to meet those goals and keep them interested in school." Questions, ideas, or in need of more information? Please contact Dave Gladney at 856-241-7772 or dgladney@AEPweb.org.
