You might also choose a different metaphor than a highway to show the career choices that students might make.
Editor's Notes
- #14: The Strategy Doing What MATTERS for jobs and the economy is a four-pronged framework to respond to the call of our nation, state, and regions to close the skills gap. The four prongs are: Give Priority for jobs and the economy: Consider labor market needs when making budget, course & program decisions. Decide on program capacity as a region. Make Room for jobs and the economy Retool programs that are not working or not meeting a labor market need so that students can study what MATTERS. Promote Student Success Adopt common metrics and skills panels in CCCCO RFAs. Strengthen regions with new skill sets. Innovate for jobs and the economy Solve a complex workforce training need so that our system can better deliver for employers and sectors.
