What subject areas are covered by career and technical education? CTE covers a variety of challenging fields in di-verse subject areas that are constantly evolving due to the changing global economy.

Is there any proof that CTE works? Yes, according to many studies, CTE graduates are 10-15 percent more likely to be employed, and earn 8-9 percent more than graduates of

academic programs.

What is Concurrent Enrollment, and why is it appropriate for CTE students? Concurrent enrollment programs are collaborative efforts between high schools and colleges in which high school students are permitted to enroll in college courses. These programs provide students with a chal-lenging academic experience and the opportunity to earn college credit prior to high school graduation.

Is CTE only for high school students who are not college bound? No. CTE can provide a foundation of skills that enables high school graduates to be gainfully employed either full-time or while in college. Nearly two-thirds of all high school graduates of CTE programs enter college. Rigorous academic content tied to technical subject matter ensures that these students will be ready for college. The internships and other cooperative work experiences that are a hallmark of CTE are attractive to all students who want to get a head start on a career, whether that career goal is doctor or nurse, automotive technician or computer scientist. Student organizations also help students acquire the employability and leadership skills that will enable them to succeed in the workplace. CTE links high school and community college curricula to help students make a smooth transition to college and careers.

Concurrent Credit Programs ANC is partnering with area school districts to offer an early college credit program. In doing so, many

local high school students can earn college credit while still in high school. This early college enrollment

program will increase students’ opportunities to gain early college credit at a reduced tuition rate. This

will save students both time and money to be spent on their college education. Concurrent credit classes

are offered to students in general education courses through classes on the college campus or on-line.

Enrollment Guidelines. Students must meet all college placement score requirements for en-

rollment into college credit courses. Once accepted into a college course, students must complete

the orientation tutorial E-Racer to learn how to use the ANC student learning management por-

tal online. College instructors will use this portal to communicate with students regarding class as-

signments and activities, to post grades, and announcements. Students will also have access to all

ANC online library resources.

Enrollment Process. Students will work with the ANC Career Coach or high school counselor

to complete an ANC application packet. This packet will include a College Admission Form, ACT or

COMPASS scores, a Registration Form, and a Parent/Student Authorization Form.

Cost to Students. Costs for early college credit courses are $25 per credit hour ($75 per three-

hour course). Additionally, there may be a cost for textbooks and/or access codes for on-line materi-

als used in the college course. This amount can range from $75 to $150 per course. Many books

are available for a rental fee, and purchased books can be bought back by the bookstore at the end

of the course. Payment guidelines for all tuition, books, and fees will be determined by your high

school, and are available from the counselor or Career Coach.

Academic and Financial Aid Policies. Credit attempted and earned through this program will be

posted to a college transcript and become a part of the student’s permanent academic and financial

aid record. Therefore, the

grades earned, as well as

credit attempted and

earned, will be included in

all college grade point av-

erages and completion

rates to determine satisfac-

tory progress for both aca-

demic and financial aid

calculations.

Arkansas Northeastern College career coaches work in the Mississippi County high schools and Paragould with students in grades 8 – 12 to encourage them to continue their education at the post-secondary level. Their services are offered at NO COST TO THE STUDENT. ANC Career Coaches assist students with:

ACT Preparation

Career Assessments

Career Plans and Portfolios

Job Shadowing, Mentoring, and Internships

Business & Industry Tours

College Search and Campus Tours

Financial Aid Workshops

Purpose The purpose of the career coaches program is to extend the career guidance services for students moving from high school into post-secondary education. Extended guidance services can prepare students for a more successful college experience and career by helping them set and achieve realistic goals and devel-op the knowledge and skills they will need to succeed.

What is career and technical education? Career and technical education (CTE) programs prepare students to enter the workforce with the academic and vocational skills needed to compete successfully in the job market. Today’s CTE provides students:

academic subject matter taught with relevance to the real world

employability skills, from job-related skills to workplace ethics

career pathways that link secondary and postsecondary education

second-chance education and training

education for additional training and degrees, especially related to

workplace training, skills upgrades and career advancement

What are the benefits of Career & Technical Education Career and technical education can benefit students directly by providing

earning advantages before and after graduation. CTE programs moti-

vate students to get involved in their learning by engaging them in prob-

lem-solving activities. These programs provide hands-on activities that enable students to apply

knowledge and learn skills for the workforce. Career and Technical Education helps students make

the connection between learning and the real world, helping them answer three key questions: What

am I learning? Why am I learning it? How am I going to use it?
