Our DPS graduates will take many paths to pursue their dreams, and our schools prepare them for their futures.
What does it mean to be ready for career and college?
Students who are ready for career and college understand what will be expected of them when they get to the next step in their career journey, and are prepared academically, socially and emotionally. The measurements we use to track college- and career-readiness look beyond test scores, and evaluate a student’s learning comprehension, character traits and workforce habits.
Who are we at Career and College Success (CCS)?
Career and technical education (CTE) provides students with the academic and technical skills, knowledge and training necessary to succeed in future careers and develop skills they will use throughout their careers. CTE prepares students for the world of work by introducing them to workplace competencies, and makes academic content accessible to students by providing it in a hands-on context.
The DPS Career and College Success Career Development Team partners with industry professionals and higher education institutions to help students explore their career identity, visualize what’s possible, chart a plan for their futures, provide hands-on experience and expand their professional networks through a full-suite of WBL experiences.
Higher Education Academics oversees school-based academic programs meant to challenge students to reach their potential in their pursuit of college and a career. Our mission in HEA is to promote affordable and equitable access to career and college opportunities for all DPS students during their tenure in our district and beyond.
