Cross-Sector Partnerships
Regional coordinators are located in each economic region of the state to provide technical assistance and support to districts who are applying to certify their high school pathways. Regional coordinators serve as resources and partners for district and school leaders to explore and understand labor market needs and expand or create new partnerships with postsecondary institutions and employers.
Regional coordinators will reach out to high schools in their regions to encourage their participation.
