Antelope Valley Union High School District, Lancaster, CA.
The Antelope Valley (California) Bridge from Education to Careers is a regional plan for developing a local program of career education to prepare all students from kindergarten through community college for careers. Recommendations for a model process are based on the Antelope Valley experience. There are 26 steps to building a regional bridge from education to careers: identify core leadership; designate a team leader; identify potential organizations; plan timelines; conduct the first meeting; identify employer concerns; identify planning issues; build cooperation between business and education; identify a leadership group; review existing career development materials; develop a mission statement; obtain feedback about mission statement; identify subcommittees; identify tasks; conduct both committee and subcommittee meetings in same time block; conduct meetings with chairs; prepare committee reports; identify process to achieve mission; identify employer liaisons; design a visual representation of process; develop documents for committee review; route draft documents for review; develop implementation plan; prepare final document; implement plan; and coordinate implementation. (The following are included in this booklet: 12 tips for the building committee, 24 ideas for building employer liaisons, information on the Antelope Valley career guide, and steering committee members.)
