EOPA – End of Pathway Assessments
Georgia implemented a measurement mechanism that would ascertain the technical skill attainment level of students participating in career and technical education courses. These mechanisms are valid and reliable technical assessments aligned with industry-validated standards.
Industry Certification
When a CTAE program becomes industry certified, the program receives a "stamp of excellence," which represents the apex of program quality. Only those programs which successfully undergo rigorous reviews by leaders from business and industry are recognized with this distinction.
WBL – Work Based Learning
YAP – Youth Apprenticeship
Top Gun
Twenty teachers/WBL coordinators are invited to attend the Top Gun training, representing all regions of the state. Participants learn to use marketing and public relations toolkits to more effectively market and brand their program and increase connections with the business and industry sector. Other topics included increasing employability skills in high school students, matching education to economic development needs, and improving the quality of student placements and mentoring.
