Colleagues,
We are pleased to share this piece prepared by the Massachusetts Business Alliance for Education. A little more than a year ago, MBAE launched the Student Pathways to Success coalition to promote expansion and development of high school pathways that are on-ramps to college and careers. This spotlight story about a student from Whittier Vocational Technical High School who participated in Early College as a vocational student is illustrative of success, when school leaders weave together programs to allow students to gain career training, work experience, and college credit.
