The State Plan for Career and Technology Education 2000-2004 was developed as a guide to assist school districts in their efforts to offer effective, career and technology education programs that prepare students for further education and eventual employment.

The plan is based on the premise that a rigorous academic foundation contributes to success in school and life, that all students should be provided equal opportunities to succeed, and that career and technology education should complement and enhance academic preparation by enabling students to apply principles to a variety of community and career situations.

Goals:

(1) Each public school student shall master the basic skills and knowledge necessary for managing the dual roles of family member and wage earner.

(2) Each public school student shall master the basic skills and knowledge necessary for gaining entry-level employment in a high-skill, high-wage job or continuing the student's education at the post secondary level.
