Opinion: Indiana’s New Education Model Is Creating Career Pathways That Work For Everyone
“For the last few years, the idea of career and technical education is all in vogue. With modern day pathways and occupations that defy old-school training, the whole field has been ripe for a makeover. Traditionally, it’s the high schools, community colleagues and various other government agencies that get paid to offer work-based training and support. Meanwhile business and industry is moving at the speed of light, and offering relevant, desirable and outcomes-based training for new skilled trades that isn’t always available through traditional means. That’s why Indiana’s new career and technical education scholarship account program (CSA) is a very cool, 21st Century idea. It gives students freedom to make those decisions outside of having to rely solely on what the system delivers.”
