Current Narrative:
Delaware CTE programs of study are industry based and align with nationally recognized standards to provide an understanding of, and experience in, all aspects of an industry. The DDOE has partnered with the Delaware Department of Labor to establish the EDEPS website, which provides labor market projections aligned to the State’s instructional model for CTE programs of study. There data help local education staff and students to better understand Delaware’s labor market and more specific aspects of the industry including preferred educational levels and skills. This information is used as part of Delaware’s CTE programs of study to define what students need to know and to be able to do while supporting student development in solving problems, gathering and using resources, and working collaboratively to assure success in a highly challenging academic and competitive global work environment. In addition, related, work–based learning experiences are supported upon the completion of state–approved programs.
