ConnectED: The National Center for College and Career partners with school, district, and community leaders to transform education through Linked Learning pathways so that all students, regardless of background, are prepared to succeed in college, career, community, and life. Linked Learning offers students a multiyear program of study that combines academic and technical learning organized around broad industry themes, like biomedical and health sciences; construction and building design; agriculture and renewable resources; and arts, media and entertainment. This approach prepares high school students for careers and for a full range of postsecondary options, including two- and four-year college or university, apprenticeship, and formal employment training programs.
