Utica CSD will follow a systematic approach that creates vertical alignment by starting with CTE career awareness and exploration with grades K-8 staff beginning the summer of 2023. The middle school will implement CTE modules the following year that will represent 16 national career clusters as a way to introduce students to the high school CTE pathways that will be determined by input from local stakeholders. Early exposure to career readiness initiatives that also includes options for students to attain college credit will prepare students with the skills that are necessary to support workforce development in the Mohawk Valley.
