Current Narrative:
BCTE has developed a “Program of Study” template that will require Tech Prep Regions in the state to assist in the development of Programs of Study by CIP Code t CIPs will be selected and approved for development by the BCTE and will be based on the program’s potential to lead to high-wage, high-skill, and high-demand jobs to include emerging technology, in which there is a significant workforce shortage. These Programs of Study will lead to employment opportunities or the transfer of students to baccalaureate or advanced degree programs. The Programs of Study will be developed in consultation with business and industry, institutions of higher education and labor organizations to incorporate and align secondary and postsecondary programs. Programs of Study will effectively address the issues of school dropout prevention and reentry by aligning Programs of Study with Pennsylvania academic standards and employability competencies.
