New this year, attendees will have the opportunity to participate in an array of workshops led by national experts. The workshops, which will be repeated once, are designed to share promising practices and challenge participants' thinking through interactive sessions.
Data should play a major role in a state's career readiness system, but it is often difficult to know how and where to begin when it comes to identifying, measuring and validating the most important career-ready indicators. This workshop will allow participants to test out a new career readiness data toolkit and provide input into how it may apply in their states. Using the recommendations from New Skills for Youth’s Career Readiness Expert Workgroup, this new toolkit explores the policy levers, conceptual considerations and practical application of using career readiness indicators in state K-12 reporting and accountability systems to drive career readiness for all students.
