  1. Registered apprenticeship: today’s future and diverse workforce Engaging Diversity: A Regional Approach November 18, 2016 Hilton Guam Resort & Spa

  2. What is our obligation? To prepare young adults to lead productive and prosperous lives as adults…what do they need? A strong foundation of literacy, numeracy, and thinking skills for responsible citizenship, career development and lifelong learning.

  3. Implications on youth development The Department must prioritize youth development within its educational system. Research has shown that employment in the teen and young-adult years can have a very positive impact on future prospects for employment and earnings. Young adults who have good high school work experiences are more likely to be inspired to stay in school, graduate from high school and adopt ambitious goals.

  4. Guidance: • Guam CCaRe (College and Career Readiness) ACT • Guam DOE State Strategic Plan • Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) Dec. 2015 – Replaces No Child Left Behind (NCLB) • In the past students were put on tracks for college pathways or career pathways but were not allowed to cross over. More career engagement mandated than has been in the past. No longer a pathway for students who are not college material, but every students will be prepared for college and career opportunities.

  5. Ccare act: 17 GCA EDUCATION CH. 4 CURRICULUM & TEXTS § 4114.1. College and Career Readiness (CCaRe) Act. The Guam Education Board (Board) shall develop and implement rigorous and relevant curriculum for: • (a) Public elementary and middle schools that integrate the Department of Education required academic subjects and career awareness and exploration. • Prior to enrolling into high school, students shall participate in a career interest inventory, enabling them to enter high school ready to identify and select career pathway options; and • (b) Public high schools that align and integrate the Department of Education required academic subjects and Career and Technical Education (CTE) methods to prepare every student for a higher education and a broad career field.

  6. Guam Department of Education State Strategic Plan: Goal 1 Goal #1: All Guam Department of Education students will graduate from high school prepared to pursue post-secondary education on-or off-island or to assume gainful employment within the public or private sector.

  7. THE EVERY STUDENT SUCCEEDS ACT, LEGISLATION REAUTHORIZING THE ELEMENTARY AND SECONDARY EDUCATION ACT • Full implementation in the 2017-2018 school year. • ESSA represents an unprecedented turnaround of federal control of education policy, releasing it back to the states. • Designed to “fix” No Child Left Behind, ESSA gained bipartisan support for the reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) of 1965 and replaces NCLB as the federal oversight legislation for education. • ESSA cracks open possibilities to create the future-focused schools needed to prepare students for careers and college. • States must demonstrate that their standards are aligned with entrance requirements for the state colleges and universities and with state career and technical education standards.

  8. The Three R’s: • Rigor – Content Standards & Performance Indicators • Relevance – School to Work Program • Relationships – Service Learning Program

  10. Guam’s workforce need: According to Guam Department of Labor Long-Term Occupational Projections (2012-2022) skilled labor occupations continues to be a high demand and will consistently grow over the next 10 years. We must ensure that there is an adequately trained labor force to meet the demands of a growing job market.

  14. DOE’s workforce development Initiatives: • The Guam Department of Education provides Career Preparatory (Prep) Curriculum programs designed to help prepare high school graduates to directly enter the job market upon graduation by providing them with appropriate classroom and laboratory programs that will develop occupational skills at least at the job entry level • Career Prep helps to teach and develop students’ competency levels of various skills, both current and projected, to meet the demands of Guam’s job market. There are 35 GDOE Career and Technical Education (CTE) teachers in all 6 GDOE high schools providing instruction to 350 studentswhich provides local level of support to the CTE programs. • Only 29% (2,978) of GDOE’s 10,056 High School students are exposed to a rigorous 3-year CTE curriculum in the Guam Community College satellite programs. CTE courses and career guidance can help to prepare all students for post-secondary college and career opportunities

  15. DOE’s workforce development Initiatives • 21st Century Career & Technical Education Program • Career & Technical Education Professional Development • WorkKeys and KeyTrain • Career Technical Education Academies – GDOE/GCC, GCA Trades Academy • Career Technical Education Work • STEM Education • Service Learning

  16. Service Learning Program • The District’s Service Learning Program, is a local law mandating our public high schools student acquiring seventy-five (75) hours of Service Learning to complete high school graduation requirements. The program promotes student volunteerism in the community and integrates that experience into the classroom curriculum (such as Science, Health and Social Studies students assisting as tutors, Community Outreach Program activities volunteers, and developing websites for non-profit organizations).

  17. What is Service Learning? • Service Learning is defined as “a teaching and learning approach that integrates service to the community with academic study to enrich learning, teach civic responsibility, and strengthen communities” (National commission on Service Learning, 2001). Service Learning supports youth leadership, internships, school-to-career, and possible employment.

  18. Work Experience Program: GCC

  19. Guam Community College’s Career Technical Education (CTE) programs are in all six GDOE high schools to prepare students for college and career. • In SY2016-17, there are 2,978 CTE students at GDOE high schools. • There are 11 CTE programs offered: Automotive Service, Auto body, AutoCadd, Construction, Electronics, Early Childhood Education, Health Education, Lodging Management Program, Marketing, ProStart, and Visual Communications. • High school CTE students who complete their 3-year program and 180 hours of work experience may earn the Certificate of Mastery from GCC, which articulates to GCC postsecondary programs. • The GCC work experience program is available year-round. The Summer Work Experience Program is popular with CTE students because they can work up to 40 hours a week at various training sites.

  20. CTE students learn work experience in the real world; training site employers provide training plans according to CTE students’ career pathways. • During summer of 2016, there were 53 training sites on island for 236 CTE students who completed 90, 180, or 270 hours of non-paid internships. A total of 38,070 hours of work was logged for summer of 2016! • The top three programs during 2016 summer are Lodging Management Program (93), Marketing (62), and ProStart (58). • The top four employers during 2016 summer are Hilton (19), PIC (18), Westin (17), and Guam Plaza (17). • A success story: Ms. ChyryllCisologo, 2015 graduate of Simon Sanchez Lodging Management Program who is now a hotel associate apprentice at Hilton Guam Resort and Spa.
