Term: 2021-2022 school year
Scope: The Yonkers Public Schools Adult Education Program, Pathways to Success, is seeking approval from the Board of Trustees to offer four Career and Technical Education (CTE) Courses, to be funded through Employment Preparation Education (EPE), a NYSED funding source. The EPE Application was submitted to NYSED on June 11, 2021. If approved, EPE will provide approx.. $1.9 million in funding for adult education for the 2021-2022 school year, which will fund both literacy and CTE courses.
Pathways to Success will be offering four CTE Courses: Building Maintenance, Culinary/Hospitality, Retail/Business and Computers. These courses are eligible for EPE provided that such programs have been approved by the local board of education and are under the supervision of the District Superintendent. Each of these courses is designed to prepare students for entry-level employment within a specific industry, and each leads to an industry-recognized credential. All Pathways to Success courses are offered free of charge to Yonkers residents. |
