Dear Friends and Colleagues,
Thank you for your interest in learning more about the Georgia Department of Education's Career, Technical, and Agricultural Education (CTAE) programs. All across Georgia, CTAE is opening up the future for students, connecting them with the real-world experiences and work-based learning opportunities they need to succeed. Students are learning about potential careers early, participating in professional organizations, earning industry certifications, earning college credit and studying in the field. Thousands of students are gaining skills for work and life and graduating with a Career Pathway certificate and a career plan ready and prepared.
Put simply, CTAE is great news for students. It prepares them for the future, helps them see the relevance of their education and keeps them engaged as evidenced by the stellar graduation rate for students who take CTAE courses. It's also great news for business and industry: CTAE programs connect schools with employers to produce the skilled graduates communities need to thrive. At the state and local levels, CTAE staff members work directly with leaders in the business community to make sure students are gaining skills that will serve them well in the workplace.
Georgia's CTAE offerings are transforming student outcomes and bolstering regional economies. I'm proud to present this annual report on our progress we greatly appreciate your interest and support!
Sincerely,

FROM THE DIREC TOR OF C TAE...
Message from CTAE Director
A brief summary of the status and accomplishments of the secondary Career, Technical and Agricultural Education (CTAE) programs in the state of Georgia during the 2014-15 school year is contained in this annual report. The mission of CTAE is to educate Georgia's future workforce by engaging students in experiences that will prepare them for workplace success.
One of the main accomplishments in FY 2015 is the improved graduation rate of 94.9% for CTAE Concentrators which is an increase from 88.9% the previous year. CTAE Concentrators who took a sequence of three or more classes in a single program area graduated at a higher rate than all Georgia students. The graduation rate for all students statewide during this same year is 78.8%.
Some of the other accomplishments highlighted from the 2014-15 school year include increases in high school students earning industry credentials, student membership in Career Technical Student Organizations (CTSOs), increase in postsecondary options, and increase in STEM school/program certification. Industry credentials earned by high school students were 21,702 (18% increase from previous year). Membership was increased from last year in these specific CTSOs: Future Farmers of America (3%), and Technology Student Association (23%). In FY 15, a total of 11,412 students participated in postsecondary options and earned college credits (19.3% increase from previous year). Eight additional schools and/or programs within schools achieved STEM certification during 2014-15.
In order to fulfill the CTAE mission of educating Georgia's workforce, CTAE educators form partnerships with a variety of stakeholders. These partnerships are formed through relationships built on trust and communication. Many of the CTAE stakeholders include business & industry partners, CTAE Resource Network, Career and Technical Student Organizations, Technical College System of Georgia, University System of Georgia, GaDOE Division of Curriculum & Instruction, General Assembly, and SBOE Members. We value the partnerships of our stakeholders and know that educating Georgia's future workforce takes many people working together.
Sincerely,
Barbara M. Wall, Ed.D.
Director of Career, Technical and Agricultural Education
The mission of CTAE is to educate Georgia's future workforce by engaging students in experiences that
will prepare them for workplace success.

It is through experiences that students are able to put academic knowledge to practice. Often, CTAE is the 'hook' that keeps students in school and serves as the impetus for them to graduate.

Georgia's Department of Education Career, Technical and Agricultural Education (CTAE) is preparing Georgia's students for their next step after high school--college, the military, or immediately beginning a career. Georgia CTAE course offerings, and the new Educating Georgia's Future Workforce initiative, leverage partnerships with industry and higher education to ensure students have the skills they need to thrive in the workforce of the future. CTAE offers students over 130 career pathways within 17 Career Clusters modeled after the National Career Cluster Model which is utilized across the United States.

The state career and technical education system consists of programs offered at the middle and secondary school level by the CTAE Division of the Georgia Department of Education (GaDOE) and at the postsecondary level by the Technical College System of Georgia (TCSG) and Georgia Board of Regents. Guidelines of the Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Improvement Act of 2006 (Perkins IV) align the CTAE program with the academic indicators of the No Child Left Behind Act.

The CTAE program is designed for students to experience the relevance in the workplace of what they are learning in the classroom. The curriculum includes national standards, CTAE standards, and Georgia Performance Standards, in addition to career development activities allowing students to make the connection between class activities and the workforce.

high school. In elementary school, students Entrepreneurship

explore various career areas as integral

parts of the curriculum each year. Designed

to meet the needs of young adolescents (ages 10-15), middle schools bridge the gap

between elementary and high school and provide students with an opportunity to

learn about specific career areas in a safe, nurturing, and positive environment. By

high school, students may choose an area of interest from the 17 Career Clusters to

explore through classroom instruction, experiential laboratory activities, and the extra-

curricular activities of the Career Technical Student Organizations (CTSOs). Students

also have the opportunity to participate in the workplace through the Work-based

learning (WBL) Program. During FY 2015, 16,118 students participated in the Work-

based learning (WBL) program.

High school students develop a solid foundation in their selected career area, and many high school students graduate with industry certifications and college credits along with their high school diplomas. In FY 2015, industry certifications earned by CTAE students (21,702 students) increased by 18% as compared to FY 2014. In FY 2015, a total of 11,931 students participated in Move on When Ready postsecondary options and earned college credits, a 19% increase compared to FY 2014. Of the 11,931 students, 11,412 students were in Dual Enrollment classes and 519 students in Joint Enrollment classes.
