COLLEGE & CAREER PATHWAYS
INTRODUCTION
The California economy is experiencing a skills gap:
• 47% of jobs in California require skills training- more education than high school but less than
a four-year degree
• 39% of California workers are trained at this level*
Career Technical Education (CTE) courses provide students with real-world workforce skill development, career exploration and college preparation.
CTE courses integrate rigorous academic instruction with technical and occupational content that helps to increase student achievement, graduation
rates, as well as college and career readiness. CTE courses are sequenced to create pathways for students in a course of study which can lead to
college and career opportunities.
In CTE students learn “soft skills” needed for the modern workplace such as: critical thinking,
communication, teamwork, ethical leadership, research tools, creativity and innovation.
Experience is the best teacher. CTE can help all students get the experience needed to obtain the
job of their choice, help upgrade skills, or help train them in a completely new field. Some classes
even include the opportunity to complete training in a local business or organization.
CTE classes are conducted in classrooms equipped to industry standards and are taught by highly-
qualified professionals from industry who are credentialed through the California Commission on
Teacher Credentialing to teach in their area of expertise.
CTE pathways begin in high school and are available to all students

Five types of Work-Based learning (WBL) are
reported yearly to CALPADS. SBCUSD has been
focused on Internships and Pre-apprenticeships.
1. Pre-Apprenticeships
2. Apprenticeships
3. Internships/Micro Internships
4. Student-Run Businesses
5. Simulated WBL
PRE-APPRENTICESHIPS
A pre-apprenticeship is connected to a registered
apprenticeship that includes a formal agreement
with the employer and/or sponsor-designated
apprenticeship (college/skilled program). Essential
components of a registered pre-apprenticeship
include coursework directly related to a trade/
occupation, relevant job-learning activities, and a
certificate of completion.
“Pre-apprenticeships” are often confused with
“Apprenticeships” for students who are under
18 years old and or still in high school. The term
describing the student should be “Intern” or, if
formalized, “Pre-Apprenticeship.”
APPRENTICESHIP
In an approved Registered Apprenticeship Program
(RAP), employers combine education with paid
on-the-job training, allowing high school graduates
to earn while learning. The average age of an
apprentice is 30 years old.
• The California Division of Apprenticeship
Standards (OAS) consults with employees to
develop a skilled workforce with viable career
pathways, which will increase productivity and
strengthen our economy.
• Must be high school graduate and/or 18 years
of age.
INTERNSHIPS/
MICRO-INTERNSHIPS
An internship is a work-based learning activity
which allows students to apply classroom learning
in a workplace setting. Internships are a measure
of the College Career Indicators (CCI) and are tied
to a pathway course, an instructor, a business, or
a community partner. The instructor and industry
partner work together to ensure student safety, and
to monitor student progress.
Internships are:
• Supervised by an industry expert
• Tied to an instructor, course, and/or CTE program
• Paid or unpaid
Internships are not:
• Job shadows or other one-time events or
experiences
• A job that a student secures
• Volunteering or working at campus events
(Dance/rallies, etc.)
Micro-Internships
• Reduced period of time (could be a one-time
event or experience)
• Applying skills from classroom learning
• Supervised by an industry expert
• Tied to an instructor, course, and/or CTE program
• Paid or unpaid
WHAT IS WORK BASED LEARNING?
Work-Based Learning (WBL) is where students are provided with real-life work
experiences. Students have the opportunity to apply academic and technical skills and
develop their employability. Work-Based Learning can take place in the classroom or the
career sector.
In order to support comprehensive WBL programs, three main components need to be
included:
• alignment of classroom and workplace learning.
• applications of academic, technical, and employability skills in a work setting; and
• support from classroom or workplace mentors

A Registered Pre-Apprenticeship is a structured training program designed to
prepare individuals for entry into a Registered Apprenticeship Program (RAP).
These programs are recognized by the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) or state
apprenticeship agencies and provide participants with foundational skills,
hands-on experience, and industry knowledge relevant to a specific trade or
profession.
Key Features:
• Industry-Aligned Curriculum: Pre-apprenticeships teach technical and soft
skills needed for success in a formal apprenticeship.
• Direct Pathway to Apprenticeship: Many programs have agreements with
RAPs to ensure graduates receive priority entry or advanced standing.
• Hands-On Training: Participants gain practical experience through
classroom instruction, lab work, and sometimes job-site exposure.
• Support Services: Programs often include career counseling, mentoring,
and wraparound services to help participants succeed.
• No Cost or Low Cost: Many programs are funded through grants or industry
partnerships, reducing financial barriers for learners.
Registered pre-apprenticeships serve as an inclusive gateway for
underrepresented groups, including women and minorities, helping them
access high-quality career pathways in skilled trades and technical fields

What IS an Industry Partner?Let’s Connect
Industry partners are crucial in Career and Technical Education (CTE) pathways,
providing real-world experience, aligning curriculum with workforce needs, and
enhancing student employability. Their involvement ensures that training programs
remain relevant by incorporating current industry standards, emerging technologies,
and essential skills. Through apprenticeships, internships, and mentorship programs,
industry partners bridge the gap between education and employment, giving
students hands-on learning opportunities and direct career pathways. Additionally,
their investment—whether through equipment donations, guest lectures, or advisory
roles—strengthens CTE programs and fosters a skilled workforce that meets industry
demands.

2. How do I get involved as an
industry partner in SBCUSD?
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
1. Who can join a Pathway?
Anyone! There are no prerequisites to join a pathway.
2. How do I join a Pathway?
Just talk to your school Counselor! We make it super easy. We WANT you to join a Pathway. The
experiences are INVALUABLE.
3. What do you do in a Pathway class?
Pathway students get real-world experience through hands-on projects and micro-internships. They
learn directly from teachers who have worked in the industry, so they are being trained by experts!
Students also work on important soft skills specific to a career path. Plus, they have the opportunity to
earn industry-recognized certifications that will allow them to stand out after high school. Pathways are
all about preparing students for success in whatever comes next, whether it’s college, work, or other
opportunities!
4. Do I have to stay in a Pathway all the way through high school?
Pathway lengths vary between two to four years. Check with your school site counselor on the
pathway’s exit policy.
5. What if I want to change my “home” school to a different high school for their Pathway?
Any student can apply to transfer to any high school through the district standard transfer process.
