Strengthen CTE Pathways with AP

Strong CTE programs already give students something powerful: applied learning, technical skills, and a clear line of sight to a career. Career Kickstart connects that career relevance to college-level opportunity in the same pathway—bringing nationally recognized AP® coursework, and the chance to earn college credit or advanced placement, into fields students and communities already value.

This webinar walks you through four AP courses that connect to high-demand career pathways—AP Business with Personal Finance, AP Computer Science Principles, AP Cybersecurity, and AP Networking (coming 2027-28)—and covers how schools can add to an existing program of study, replace an aligned course, or offer as a standalone elective depending on what fits. You’ll see how these courses combine hands-on, real-world learning with the benefits of AP to strengthen career pathways for students.

In this webinar:

	How Career Kickstart connects career relevance and college level opportunity in one pathway
	The four AP courses in this set, the CTE programs of study they connect to, and where employer-endorsed credentials fit in
	Three ways to bring a course in: add it, replace an aligned course, or offer it as a stand-alone elective
	How one well-placed AP course can boost pathway visibility and completion rates
