Reminder of what reVISION is:
The reVISION process provides Nebraska schools with the opportunity to
analyze and transform their current career education systems in order to
improve their ability to educate a qualified workforce that meets
industry needs within an ever-changing economy.
The Northeast Coalition consists of ten schools that are working through the reVISION process together. Four area meetings were held in January to gather input from businesses and other stakeholders.
Career and Technical Education teams from each of the ten schools met Monday, February 29 in West Point to look at the data collected and find some areas in whcih all schools can work together.
Common areas identified-
1- Job Shadowing and internships opportunities for students- may require a full-time coordinator to work with students at all of the schools.
2- Partnerships with businesses- Have an advisory committee of business people for each Career Field.
3- Systematic career decision-making support in place starting in the elementary through transition to post-secondary. This would include each student developing a Personal Learning plan.
4- Partnering with other school districts, the educational service unit, and post-secondary institutions. This could include a Northeast Community College Career Academy extended campus at a centralized location, which would provide certification/dual credit programs of study to students in all schools in the coalition.

The next phase will be to develop an action plan which describes the changes that will be made to the Career Education Program as a result of the reVISION process. A grant application will be submitted to the Nebraska Department of Education to assist in funding the components of the action plan. If all schools apply together, the grant funds could be up to $500,000 per year for three years.
