Youth involved with the justice system face significant challenges.
This month the College and Career Readiness and Success Center (CCRS Center) released a brief titled Predictors of Postsecondary Success.

High-quality career and technical education (CTE) programs are essential in improving college and career readiness for all students. High-quality CTE is not traditional vocational education or a tracking system. Instead, it provides all students, including those headed for four-year colleges, with rigorous academic instruction integrated with project-based learning and skill development. Policymakers across the country should invest in high-quality CTE to truly improve students’ college and career readiness.
