Session Type: 
CA Career Pathways Session
Presentation Description: 
Information and communication technologies (ICT) have changed our lives enormously, yet education is struggling to keep up with its rapid advances. There are extraordinary inconsistencies in ICT educational offerings, in K12 schools, in community colleges and at 4-year colleges and universities. That creates confusion for students, counselors and employers. Learn about grant funded efforts to create ICT Pathways in San Francisco. Discuss challenges and opportunities to create ICT pathways in your region.
