An Introduction

Lancaster County’s 16 school districts have adopted a common career preparation program called Career Pathways, which is based on the PA State Academic Standards for Career Education and Work. These standards identify the necessary academics and technical requirements for careers of the 21st Century. The Career Pathways model is designed to help students and parents plan for careers using four main categories of careers/jobs called “Pathways,” which are based on national employment trends. These trends are often referred to as “career clusters.”

The goal of Career Pathways is for all students to develop a vital and meaningful education and career plan beyond High School graduation and to have a seamless transition to college and career success. This plan may include work based training, skill certification, military, associate’s, bachelor’s or graduate degree.

What are Career Pathways®

Think of the icons below as 4 different roads. Each one will bring you a variety of career possibilities that relate to that particular category. By choosing a specific Pathway below, you can take advantage of all the opportunities that best fit your interests, abilities and experiences. This decision not only accelerates the process of developing your career path, but it also prepares you for any number of jobs within that specific Pathway. And remember: If you don’t like the Pathway you have chosen, you can change it!

How do I use them?

Finding the right career can be as simple as this 3 STEP PROCESS below:

lancaster county career & technology centerprograms of study (POS)

The Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Act of 2006 requires the development and implementation of career and technical Programs of Study (POS). The Lancaster County Career & Technology Center, under the Act, is now required to offer the relevant academic and technical courses as they relate to the POS. Programs of Study are very similar to, and build on, positive initiatives, such as Tech Prep, career pathways, career academies and career clusters, already underway in career and technical education in Pennsylvania.

Beginning with the class of 2013 priority admissions considerations will be in place for LCCTC programs. These considerations will include submission of an LCCTC application within the designated time period and the student’s successful completion of POS secondary academic courses. These academic courses include:

• 4 Years of College Prep English (4th yr at LCCTC); • 3yearsofCollegePrepmathincludingAlgebraI,Geometry,AlgebraIIandahigherlevelmath; • 3yearsofscienceincludingBiology,ChemistryandPhysicsorPhysicalScience;and • 3yearsofsocialstudiesincludingUSandWorldHistory,withattentiongiventociviclearning.

Part Day Programs - Grades 10, 11, & 12

General Information:Full Day Programs – Grade 12HighschoolseniorsspendthedayatoneofthethreeLancasterCountyCareer&TechnologyCenters,Brownstown,MountJoyorWillowStreetCampus. Students participate in a comprehensive technical or career-oriented program. The full-day program allows more usable time for instruction and enables students to gain insight into daily work patterns. In full-day programs an LCCTC student may earn college credits toward an associate degree at two year colleges. Through partnerships with area colleges, LCCTC provides a variety of dual enrollment courses. The LCCTC also has articulation agreements with 2-year colleges and technical schools. Dual enrollment and articulation offer college-level segments that give students an additional head start toward their future career and life long learning.

Part Day Programs – Grades 10, 11 & 12Part day programs enable college bound seniors and students in grades 10 & 11 the opportunity to explore different aspects of a career field. The senior part day programs enable students to explore a career area for a few hours during each school day. Since the programs meet for only a part of a day, students can gain technical skills at LCCTC while meeting academic requirements for college at their sending schools. The 10th and 11th grade programs allow students to explore a variety of careers within an occupational cluster and are designed for students who plan to apply for one of the full-time Lancaster County Career & Technology Programs during their senior year.

More information about Lancaster County Career & Technology and its programs can be found at www.lcctc.org. For enrollment and application information, please contact your school counselor.
