Postsecondary Partners
CTE programs strive to prepare students for successful futures whether they pursue college, training programs or careers directly after graduation. For those students choosing a college pathway, apprenticeships or certification programs, there are unique advantages and supports.
Robust CTE programming partnerships with colleges, codified by an articulation agreement, provide a range of student benefits such as advanced standing, early college credit, and preferential placement. Our collaboration with City University of New York, State University of New York and other postsecondary institutions helps CTE students accumulate college credit while still in high school, to support their successful transitions into college. Among students who came to CUNY as freshmen in 2010, more than 50 percent of those who completed a bachelor's degree within four years had earned college credit prior to entering CUNY. Additionally, specific pre-apprenticeship, apprenticeship and certification training programs are provided to CTE programs to support students’ next steps.
