Review of the Research
• 70% of DECA students indicated their experience future career plans and 65% indicated that it influenced future college plans
• Participation in Career/Tech pathways and student organizations are a means to improve social mobility for disadvantaged students. (Offenstein et al, 2009)
Shelby County – A College and Career Ready Mindset
What we believe:We see a paradigm shift in the way parents view post-secondary education
The present economic environment has caused families to look beyond the traditional “my student is going to college” mentality – now a more focused, purpose-driven approach is required
This shift in attitude highlights the opportunities CTE provides for all students
My Future will enable students to look at all ways to gain access to the workforce
