Integration into academics is inadequate

All students need adequate training by credentialed CTE (Career and Technical Education) instructors.  The master plan does not reflect adequate training programs for students. The master plan currently only reflects career exploration and awareness until after 12th grade...that's too late for most students!!!  CTE teachers possess the model curriculum standards,training for those standards that relate to industry sectors and business connections and advisory boards.  The master plan needs to adequately address job training programs by CTE teachers for all students.  All students should be prepared to go to work after high school.  Many college bound students must work their way through school...and could have better salaries and focus to their education with secondary training.  All students as adults should have the skills to be self-sufficient...whether college to career bound or career bound...students end up in a career.    True workforce preparation skills needed cannot be attained through a simple "integration into academic" strategy. School to Work strategies are not rigorous in breadth or depth. Workforce preparation skill training needs more time and attention at grades 9-12.  CTE Programs and career pathways that lead students to industry sectors and ladders of thier choice would be a more visionary and end with concrete skills and results...
