It is the intent of the General Assembly to create and support a School-to-Careers
System that involves business, labor, education, and government to prepare students
for careers in an ever-changing economy.
The Office of Career and Technical Education within the Education and Workforce
Development Cabinet shall coordinate the School-to-Work effort with the Kentucky
Department of Education. As the School-to-Work effort is a federally supported
program that fits within the overall mission of the School-to-Careers System, it is
critical that collaboration and coordination occur. The following elements shall be
coordinated when possible:
(a) Planning and partner involvement of business, labor, education, government,
community-based organizations, employers, parents, and students;
(b) Career awareness, exploration, preparation, and guidance incorporated in the
school curriculum;
(c) A comprehensive system approach from the primary through postsecondary
levels with all students having the opportunity to participate;
(d) Applied learning experiences;
(e) Integration of academic and occupational education;
(f) Performance assessment;
(g) Actual or simulated learning at the school or the worksite;
(h) Curriculum based on skill standards representing all aspects of an industry;
(i) Secondary to postsecondary articulation;
(j) Postsecondary articulation; and
(k) Professional development opportunities for all partners.
The Office of Career and Technical Education may promulgate administrative
regulations establishing policy for the development and implementation of a schoolto-work transition system.
The Office of Career and Technical Education shall comply with the provisions of
the federal School-to-Work Opportunities Act, Pub. L. No. 103-239 as it is
amended from time to time.
