The Employability Skills Partnership supports high-quality career pathways for high school students in Indiana. Regional Educational Laboratory (REL) Midwest partnered with Indianapolis Public Schools to focus on work-based learning within career and technical education (CTE) programs. REL Midwest supported the district in assessing barriers to student work-based learning participation and creating action plans to strengthen how students and employers prepare to engage in effective work-based learning.
Current projects
REL Midwest is working with Indianapolis Public Schools to strengthen the career pathways and programs of study offered to students in the district, with the goal of increasing the percentage of students engaged in high-quality work-based learning (WBL). Knowing that students, families, and the counseling staff that support them need more in-depth resources to make decisions about whether a pathway is right for a student, REL Midwest supported IPS in building more robust visualizations of a student’s expected progression through a pathway, including work-based learning options, local or in-state postsecondary education options, and more specific and comprehensive occupation options.
