14. Dr. John D. Barge, State School Superintendent Making Education Work for All Georgians www.gadoe.org Georgias Career Clusters/Pathways There is a codependence of economic development and education to close the skills gap. Georgia has had six straight years of an unemployment rate higher than the national average while, at the same time, we have 5,000 vacant IT jobs in metro Atlanta alone.

15. Dr. John D. Barge, State School Superintendent Making Education Work for All Georgians www.gadoe.org The Need for Relevance In America, roughly one million students leave high school without a diploma. Many drop out because they struggle academically. But large numbers say they dropped out because they felt their classes were not interesting, and that high school was unrelentingly boring. In other words, they didnt believe high school was relevant, or provided a pathway to achieving their dreams. Too many cant see a clear, transparent connection between their program of study and tangible opportunities in the labor market.

16. Dr. John D. Barge, State School Superintendent Making Education Work for All Georgians www.gadoe.org Career Pathways PATHWAYS TO PROSPERITY PROJECT – Harvard Graduate School of Education By concentrating too much on classroom-based academics with four-year college as a goal, the nations education system has failed vast numbers of students, who instead need solid preparation for careers requiring less than a bachelors degree. Leaders that developed the report argue for an education system that clearly articulates students career options as early as middle school and defines the coursework and training required, so young people can chart an informed course toward work, whether as an electrician or a college professor.

17. Dr. John D. Barge, State School Superintendent Making Education Work for All Georgians www.gadoe.org The Georgetown Center projects that 14 million job openings – nearly half of those that will be filled by workers with post-secondary education – will go to people with an associates degree or occupational certificate. Many of these will be in middle-skill occupations such as electrician, and construction manager, dental hygienist, paralegal and police officer. What Kind of Postsecondary Education is Necessary?

18. Dr. John D. Barge, State School Superintendent Making Education Work for All Georgians www.gadoe.org While these jobs may not be as prestigious as those filled by B.A. holders, they pay a significant premium over many jobs open to those with just a high school degree. More surprisingly, they pay more than many of the jobs held by those with a bachelors degree. What Kind of Postsecondary Education is Necessary?

19. Dr. John D. Barge, State School Superintendent Making Education Work for All Georgians www.gadoe.org In fact, 27 percent of people with post- secondary licenses or certificates – credentials short of an associates degree – earn more than the average bachelors degree recipient. What Kind of Postsecondary Education is Necessary?

20. Dr. John D. Barge, State School Superintendent Making Education Work for All Georgians www.gadoe.org Career Pathways Employers demand it and students beg for it: relevant, experiential learning based on an area of interest that prepares each student for the world of work, whether they choose to attend college or not. We will align our offerings with high-demand areas and reward graduates with skills needed for 21 st Century jobs. Result: A graduate ready for college or a career.

21. Dr. John D. Barge, State School Superintendent Making Education Work for All Georgians www.gadoe.org HB 186 Provides and expands career pathway options for high school students to ensure their college and career readiness.
