DUAL CREDIT OPPORTUNITIES
How to Develop Dual Credit Agreements
In fall of each year , all 32 Districts receive regional and workforce data specific to their district . After school districts review the information provided , meetings between NWTC and each District superintendent , principal and other appropriate parties take place . The information shared is a premise for discussion of partnership development and partnership enhancements with a geared focus on career pathway development .
This pathway development can encompass a variety of curriculum products and dual credit approaches that support the pathway . For instance , a pathway can include all or just one form ( s ) of dual credit : Advanced Standing , Transcripted Credit , Start College Now and Youth Apprenticeship . Although these courses are offered at the high school level , strategies on supporting the career pathway development in K-8 are also discussed . further advisory or consultation from business / industry and additional connections with NWTC and high school faculty and counseling staff .
Meanwhile , the school district administration is responsible for continuing to drive , promote and support the launch and / or maintenance of the K-12 partnership . NWTC K-12 Relations Team and the college community will also provide support and resources available to further enhance opportunities at the K-12 level through these partnerships .

Once Districts agree upon a career pathway focus , additional work is completed to prepare for the implementation of the pathway . This work may include lab assessments and recommendations ,
