| Abstract | With a rapidly globalizing and automating economy, there never has been a better time to have the right skills--or a worse time to have the wrong ones. The right skills include a combination of the academic, technical, and social-emotional preparation necessary to succeed in the workplace. Some students may begin careers right after high school, but the vast majority of good-paying jobs require college or postsecondary career training. Thus, school leaders, policymakers, and families are recognizing that students need to leave high school prepared for their next steps, including participating in further career preparation through certificate programs, apprenticeships, and other kinds of vocational or career and technical education training. In response, many states have begun to adopt and revise their policies to promote and measure both college and career readiness among high school students. However, in these efforts, initiatives to improve students' career readiness often have lagged those to improve their college readiness. In this analysis, the Alliance for Excellent Education (All4Ed) examines three policy areas in which states have sought to advance career readiness for high school students: (1) High school graduation pathways; (2) Competency-based education policies; and (3) Statewide accountability systems. The data shows that while some states are taking positive steps to advance career readiness, particularly by offering career-focused graduation pathways, not all states have found effective ways to measure whether these pathways successfully prepare students for careers.
