Pathways to Prosperity expands training opportunities statewide
Culinary arts is one of the career pathways available to students across the state.
New high school pathway programs are preparing students to excel in key fields that offer good job opportunities in the new economy. And thanks to state grants over the past two years, more students in each county are gaining access.
Each program was developed in partnership with Delaware employers and institutions of higher education. The Department of Education is providing curriculum support for each pathway as well as training for teachers to successfully implement the coursework. In addition, the Department is working on agreements with Delaware colleges and universities to ensure that students who complete a program will be eligible for college credit at one or more institutions of higher education in the state.
In fact, by next fall, the Governor's Pathways to Prosperity initiative will serve more than 5,000 students in at least 55 pathway programs at 29 high schools.
