New Skills Ready Network 2020-21 Snapshot: Nashville, Tennessee
Advance CTE: State Leaders Connecting Learning to Work
Nashville, Tennessee, is one of the six sites selected to participate in the "New Skills ready network." This five-year initiative, launched by JPMorgan Chase & Co. in 2020, aims to improve student completion of high-quality career pathways. In the first year of the initiative, the Nashville, Tennessee, "New Skills ready network" team evaluated current career pathways to ensure alignment to high-wage, high-demand careers; worked to create a data-sharing agreement between secondary and postsecondary partners; and developed shared definitions around equity. The Nashville, Tennessee, team also created a career pathways assessment tool to determine where strengths are within career pathways as well as ensure alignment with the state's certified career pathways process. This snapshot provides a summary of the two major priorities of Nashville, Tennessee's "New Skills ready network" team: (1) establishing a shared understanding around systemic barriers to racial equity; and (2) developing a data-sharing agreement between secondary and postsecondary institutions to ensure seamless learner transitions and postsecondary success.
