The West Virginia Department of Education is using technology to connect career technical students with potential employers through a newly developed web site.
The Employers' Portal is a streamlined web site which allows employers to quickly explore lists of career pathways, view skill sets for each pathway, locate career centers and high schools where training occurs, and connect with a contact person at each facility. The portal can be found by visiting www.wvcareerpathways.com.
"Career and technical education now is characterized by ever-changing market demands, increasingly sophisticated technology and a need for a more thorough knowledge of business rather than narrow job tasks,"
said state Superintendent of Schools Jorea Marple.
According to a release from the West Virginia Board of Education, about 14.4 million secondary and post secondary students are enrolled in career and technical classes, including more than 160,000 high school students and more than 170,000 adults in West Virginia.
West Virginia Department of Education Officials said they recognize the important role career technical education plays. That's one reason they claim the WVDE is working with the West Virginia Manufacturers Association as well as the oil and gas and mining industries to create career pathways, credentials and skill training to prepare students for a future with these industries.
