DoDEA - Creating Career Pathways Project

Career & Technical Education: Career Academies

The Career & Technical Education Department now offers the Creating Career Pathways Project (CCPP) which is designed to provide students the skills, knowledge, and certifications necessary to successfully enter the workforce and create a foundation for a productive career. At the heart of the CCPP is the CTE Academies and Preparatory Pathways: A series of focused coursework to develop specialty skills, aligned to student’s interests and aptitudes, to make them marketable in today’s workforce. Upon completion of an Academy, students will have the opportunity to take Career Ready Certification exams aligned to their area of concentration. Academies will also provide students with community connections for job shadowing, apprenticeships, and part-time employment. The OTHS CTE curriculum is aligned to career skill sets that have been identified as areas of need for the community, state, and country.
