High School Career and Technical Education (CTE) Frameworks
PEI has developed a series of 180-hour high school CTE frameworks. These frameworks were designed to align to natural resource employer needs, K-12 standards, and dual credit with Washington colleges and universities. The courses provide course equivalencies in subjects such as science, English language arts, social studies, and math. Upon completion of the course, teachers provide each student with a signed Document of Competency that rates their proficiency in a variety of job-related skills that have been identified by industry partners.
PEI provides participating teachers with teaching resources, recommended community and industry partners, and a professional learning network.
