1 Pathways in Technology Early College High Schools (P-TECH) A grades 9-14 model for college and career Stanley S. Litow Vice President, Corporate Citizenship & Corporate Affairs and President, IBM International Foundation Early College Conference October 30, 2013 Research Triangle Park, NC IBM Corporation

2 The Context for Our Work: Why the 9 14 Model Matters U.S. demand for IT workers far outpacing supply, with steady decline in American students receiving degrees in STEM-related subjects Pathways to Prosperity (Harvard): U.S. must broaden the range of high-quality pathways offered to young adults, with far more emphasis on career counseling, career education, apprenticeship programs and community colleges as viable routes to wellpaying jobs Community college graduation rates hover at or about 25%. There are 28 million middle skill jobs those requiring postsecondary degrees currently available in the U.S., with these jobs paying close to $40,000 per year on average. Over the next 10 years, 14 million new jobs requiring middle skills a 50% increase will be created, with those needing STEM skills the highest paid of those jobs.

4 A New Model for Education: P-TECH Grades 9 14 Focus: A new grades 9 14 public school model Mission: Enable students to master the skills they need either to graduate with an Associates in Applied Science (AAS) degree that will prepare them for a position in the Information Technology (IT) industry, or to continue in higher education. Partners: K-12, higher education, and industry Key Tenets: Public school model: Open to all students Early College: Six-year scope and sequence integrating high school and college and leading to an AAS degree for all students Career-Readiness: Workplace Learning including skills mapping, coursework, mentors, worksite visits, speakers and internships Personal Pathways: Focus on mastery, not seat time so students graduate in 4, 5, or 6 years 4
