ACTE Postsecondary CTE Summit 2026
← Back to schedule
What if College Courses Could Be Purposefully Placed into Every High School CTE Program?
Thursday September 17, 2026 9:30am - 10:15am EDT
Roosevelt
In this session, the Community College Research Center will describe findings from a national study focused on how community college and K-12 partnerships are using “dual enrollment” college courses to expand college and career opportunities for high school CTE students. Attendees will learn about approaches partnerships are taking to build related dual enrollment courses into CTE programs and help CTE students develop plans to continue postsecondary training and pursue career-path jobs after high school. The session will highlight strategies from highly-effective dual enrollment partnerships that have scaled dual enrollment opportunities as a part of their CTE programs. Leaders from Patrick and Henry College will use examples from their work to illustrate the report's findings, including key practices that they have scaled with their partners, how they are finding ‘win-wins’ through their partnerships, and the outcomes that they are seeing as a result.
