Technical Education Pathways Project Goals

The Project’s overriding goal is to build an enduring partnership with the local construction industry, high schools, and workforce development agencies to foster increased interest in construction careers, to define and improve the educational & training pathways to success in those careers, and to provide support to those who choose to learn and teach along those pathways.

The Project has determined a variety of strategies as the means to achieve this goal:

• Sponsor outreach activities to educate counselors, teachers, students and parents about construction career opportunities.
• Work with the local industry to advertise the positive aspects of business.
• Develop a pool of industry volunteers to support construction –related activities and curriculum in the schools, both high school and community college.
• Develop trades-based academic lesson plans (math, science, communication) to improve the preparedness of students to make career choices and to be successful in completing the education & training required to advance in their chosen field.
• Offer professional development activities for teachers relating to applied and integrated academics.
• Expand Red Rocks Community College course offerings to attract younger students to the Construction Technology Program.
• Research, advertise, and support existing resources for marketing and educational materials.
• Utilize existing resources as much as possible in all aspects of the project to avoid duplication of effort and services.
