innovative and industry relevant curriculum and authentic learning experiences that allow

greater success – no matter what they choose to do after high school graduation. Each cluster will
include multiple career pathways consisting of three sequential courses. Students who complete a
pathway can take a certification exam. Certifications available can vary by school and pathway.

Work-Based Learning

Work-Based Learning placements represent the pinnacle of the CTAE experience. Enrollment
in a work-based learning course is an extension of the student’s work in their College and
Career pathway. Credit earned for enrollment in work-based learning may count toward
graduation as part of the student’s cluster or pathway.

Components of Comprehensive Work-based Learning (WBL) Programs:

Recent research, policy literature, and federal legislation suggest that comprehensive WBL
programs contain three key components: the alignment of classroom and workplace learning;
application of academic, technical, and employability skills in a work setting; and support from
classroom or workplace mentors.

CTSO’s

CTSOs are co-curricular organizations with leadership programs and competitive events which
reflect current curriculum standards and competencies for the instructional programs they
serve. Teachers infuse the CTSO’s activities into the instructional activities, thereby helping
students see the real world value of their academic studies.

End Of Pathway Assessment (EOPA)

When students take 3 sequential courses in a career pathway, they become a pathway
completer and are eligible to take a certification exam, paid for by a federal grant and Fulton
County Schools. All the certifications are developed by national certifying agencies and
companies, including Microsoft, Adobe, Skills USA, Certiport, and NOCTI. NOCTI provides
college course credit for passing the certification tests. Students that complete pathways and
receive industry certifications aquire valuable employability skills that prepare them for post-
secondary success.
