The Illinois Community College Board (ICCB) Career and Technical Education (CT
Regional
Network is an ongoing professional development platform for community college
CTE
administrators. Through the regional network a series of workshops are provided
to
ensure
that career and technical programs continue to focus effectively on student
outcomes,
strengthen the connections between secondary and postsecondary education,
and
improve program accountability. For FY15, ICCB is providing the regional
workshops described
below for FREE.
These workshops
are open to individuals and institutions that are engaged in a Pathways to Results (PTR) project or
have done one in the past. The structure of the workshops will include a very
brief section on what PTR is, a time for sharing among PTR users, and a time
where new processes and tools are introduced. Evaluation and benchmarking,
curriculum evaluation, advanced ways to measure equity gaps and mapping
pathways are all possible advanced concepts that will be discussed. We
encourage
participants
of the PTR process to bring someone who has not done PTR previously.

Earnings and Employment Web Portal which allows community colleges to track
employment and earnings for CTE graduates by demographics, classification of
instructional program (CIP), and career cluster. (SEATS ARE LIMITED! REGISTER TODAY!)
