Changing for the Future
- What are the careers of the future?
- How can high schools help prepare students for these jobs?
- What careers are of interest to students and do the courses offered match the need?
These are just a few of the questions being asked as Durham Public Schools Career-Technical Education reinvents its program for the workplace of today and tomorrow. CTE is performing a curriculum audit to assess the current curriculum offerings. DPS also is reviewing data from students using the Futures for Kids Website to plan a program that supports our students’ career interests. The student interest data and economic data on labor and employment trends/projections are being used to ensure that the CTE program equips students for the 21st-Century job market.
CTE Director Rick Sheldahl, a former Career-Technical Education Curriculum teacher, is guiding the program through these changes.
