6. Part 2 Goal Narration and Budget Requests
Goal 1 Develop Programs of Study and Career Pathways
Describe changes from your FY19 local consortium plan that will be implemented as you transition to Perkins V. In addition, document your progress and plans on designing, implementing, and improving your POS. Progress and plans should include providing professional development, initiating local needs assessment, TSAs and/or industry recognized credentials.
The consortium must balance the local needs assessment and the expectation that all learners have equitable access to career opportunities.
The goal by local application is to have each consortium provide opportunities--POS--in all six career fields. POS is defined as “coordinated nonduplicative sequence of academic and technical content at the secondary and postsecondary level.”
Resource: Perkins V Section 3 (41). Again, the sequence must include both the secondary and the postsecondary content.

Progresses in specificity (beginning with all aspects of an industry or career cluster and leading to more occupation specific instructions)
Has multiple entry and exit points that incorporate credentialing; and
Culminates in the attainment of a recognized postsecondary credential
The term Programs of study means a coordinated, non- duplicative sequence of academic and technical content at the secondary and postsecondary level that-

11. Goal Narration and Budget Requests
Goal 5 Support/strengthen the consortium
Describe your consortium’s configuration, systems, and operations. Putting students’ needs first, what actions will you take during the transition year to address the 2020 consortia criteria?
Actions may need to include reconfiguring membership, proposing new governance models, sharing personnel, and expanding brokering. Be bold, innovative, and focused on continuous improvement and providing equitable access.
2020 Consortia criteria:
In the Minnesota 4-year State Application consortium is defined as having:
Minimum of one school district + one postsecondary Minnesota State College
Minimum of 6 programs of study
Of these 6 programs of study, a minimum of 4 career fields must be represented
All components of 3 of the 4 POS by career field must be provided within the consortium
(In other words only 1 of the 4 POS can be brokered.)
Greater than CTE participants at the secondary level (based on most recent data year) OR greater than 1800 FYE at the postsecondary level (based on most recent data year)
Statement of Assurances: This is the opportunity to reaffirm your consortium's membership AND provide the first communication regarding consortia changes.
