We conducted a comprehensive inventory of manufacturing career pathway programs and initiatives across K-12 school districts in Connecticut. Through the school reports and interactive map of school programs, manufacturers, as well as educators, can discover best practices to help them develop new programs and partnerships.
To continue Connecticut’s trajectory of success in developing effective manufacturing pathways, manufacturers and workforce development organizations need to understand the current state of K-12 education programs.Through collaboration and problem-solving, these high-impact pathway programs can be refined and expanded.
