THE VISION
To ensure all students have the opportunity and support to successfully secure a postsecondary degree or industry certification that reflects each individual’s passions and skills.
GOAL 1: SHOWCASE BEST PRACTICES
The New Skills for Youth Oklahoma initiative provides the opportunity to showcase examples of best practices across our state, business and education partnerships for internships and externships and ways to redefine the high school experience.
GOAL 2: SHARE PROGRESS
Oklahoma has made significant progress in the ten months since the state was awarded the JPMorgan Chase New Skills for Youth grant:
- Individual Career Academic Plan pilot in 30 districts and 59 sites
- Support for business-education partnerships from New Skills for Youth Program Manager and Career Pathway Strategy Lead
- Oklahoma EDGE branding, platform, and website
- Career Advising professional development for counselors
- Share Your Story web page for innovative career pathway ideas
GOAL 3: CREATE NEW PARTNERSHIPS
The success of the initiative depends on new and existing partnerships among educators, business, community, legislators, career technology centers and colleges. This collaboration will strengthen the development of career pathways aligned to labor market information needs and individual student passions and skills.
