Designing Equitable Career-Connected Accelerated Pathways with Hispanic Serving Institutions
October 3 @ 8:00 am - 9:00 am
CLP and East Los Angeles College will join Education Design Lab and practitioners from Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSIs) to share what we’ve learned about designing career-connected, dual enrollment pathways in a webinar hosted by the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Career, Technical, and Adult Education (OCTAE).
During the session, panelists will:
- Share insights, effective methods, and promising practices for integrating cultural understanding into outreach, recruitment, retention, and support services to facilitate equitable access to accelerated career training.
- Highlight how students and parents were engaged in the design of accelerated dual enrollment pathways and the impact of this on the students, their families, and communities.
- Feature our partnerships with employers on the design of the accelerated pathways and the impact of this on the students, institution, and ecosystem.
- Demonstrate how to better tailor career-connected pathways to align with the needs of Latino students, offering them opportunities for growth and belonging and fostering mutual respect and effective collaboration.
- Provide insights into the barriers Hispanic students face and suggest culturally responsive strategies to overcome them.
