This tool is an interagency initiative that reimagines how our nation’s high schools prepare all students to thrive in their future careers. The initiative blurs the lines between high school, college, and careers, providing students with accelerated and innovative opportunities to earn college credits and gain real-world professional experiences. This joint effort across the U.S. Departments of Education, Labor, and Commerce supports public- and private-sector leaders, government agencies, and other community-based organizations to help students earn postsecondary degrees and industry credentials that our employers need and that our economy demands.
