The
College and Career Transitions Initiative (CCTI) is a
federally funded project administered by the League for Innovation in
the Community College. The main purpose of CCTI is to strengthen the role
of community and technical colleges in easing student transitions between
secondary and postsecondary education and into employment and improving
academic performance at both secondary and postsecondary levels. CCTI
furthers the development of academically rigorous programs of study organized
around broad occupational areas to help equip students with the skills
and credentials required for success in high-growth, high-demand career
fields. To learn more about resources available from the CCTI project

The States’ Career Clusters Initiative (SCCI) is
an initiative established under the National Career Technical Education
Foundation to provide career clusters as a tool for seamless transition
from education to career in this era of changing workplace demands. SCCI
helps states as they connect career technical education to education,
workforce preparation, and economic development. To this end, SCCI develops
new products and promotes information-sharing, techniques, and methods
to aid the development and implementation of career clusters within states.
