CTAE Graduation Rate Rises to 94.9 Percent [GaDOE Press Release]
Posted 7/25/2016
July 19, 2016 – The graduation rate for students involved in Career, Technical, and Agricultural Education (CTAE) has risen to 94.9 percent in Georgia – a strong indicator of the relevance of these programs and their impact on student outcomes. This represents a six percent increase in the graduation rate for CTAE pathway completers, up from 88.9 percent in 2014.
“This rate proves that when students are engaged and see the relevance of their education, they succeed,” State School Superintendent Richard Woods said. “Every child is not the same, and we need to provide an educational experience that offers a variety of paths toward college, career, or the military. I congratulate every teacher, school and district official, business partner and community member who has supported Georgia’s CTAE programs. In connecting students with rewarding future careers, you are truly changing lives.”
Georgia’s CTAE program leverages partnerships with industry and higher education to ensure students are prepared for careers in the 21st century workforce. Students can take courses in more than 100 Career Pathways within 17 Career Clusters, earn recognized industry credentials, participate in work-based learning and apprenticeship opportunities, and serve as leaders through membership in co-curricular Career and Technical Student Organizations (CTSOs). In July 2015, the Georgia Department of Education launched Educating Georgia’s Future Workforce, an initiative aimed at increasing the state’s focus on career education and expanding partnerships with the business community.
