• Mirroring a citywide challenge, CTE schools – even those who over-perform in terms of graduation rate –struggle to help students achieve post-secondary readiness, especially those who enter below a low-level 2
Wide disparities exist within the CTE portfolio in both population and performance
• Controlling for population differences through a regression model, CTE schools, on average, perform roughly equal with their predicted four-year graduation rate
• CTE schools serve above-average concentrations of males, minorities and SPED students, and are comparable to the system at-large in terms of incoming test scores and age at entry

Recommendations – Mayoral Task Force on CTE Innovation
> Meet 21st Century Standards. Prepare NYC students to meet academic and industry-based standards and competencies through rigorous and relevant coursework, supported by strong public-private partnerships.
> Expand Paths to Graduation. Create and support career pathways that integrate coursework, work-based learning experiences and hands-on experiences so that students develop competencies, skills and attitudes for success beyond high school in the workforce.
> Engage and Empower Industry Leadership. Reach beyond the educational sphere and develop a coherent structure for engaging, organizing and accounting for industry support to ensure the continued relevancy of CTE programs, and build pipelines of skilled workers into sector labor markets.
> Prepare Graduates for Post-Secondary Success. Prepare more NYC students for post-secondary and post-scholastic work and training options, including a particular emphasis on integration and articulation with post-secondary degree options.
> Increase Opportunity and Access. Equip students and families to make informed choices about education and work and ensure that all students have access to desirable options.
