Goal: To create a new, innovative public‐private education infrastructure

that can advance college and career readiness in STEM discipline by

coordinating statewide networks of P‐20 education partners, business, 

labor, and other organizations based on career clusters.

IL Pathways Initiative

“P‐20 STEM Programs of Study are organized around a career cluster and feature a series of orientation and advanced pathway courses across education institutions that are accompanied by opportunities for students to enrich their learning through work‐based learning experiences as well as demonstrate their understanding through assessments and the attaining of early college credit and industry‐recognized credentials.”

“STEM Learning Exchanges are a new, innovative public‐private education partnership that is organized to support local implementation of P‐20 STEM Programs of Study by coordinating and reducing the transaction cost among statewide networks of education partners, businesses, industry associations, labor organizations, and other organizations. Learning Exchanges are organized by career cluster and work to coordinate planning and investment, aggregate resources, and review talent supply‐chain performance.” 

STEM Learning Exchanges
