In this Q&A blog post, Amy Hodge, a policy associate at Advance CTE, speaks with Network researcher Rachel Rosen, a senior associate at MDRC, about her team's study exploring the impact of attending New York City's (NYC) P-TECH Grades 9–14 schools on students' college and career readiness. The NYC P-TECH model prepares students for college and careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields by enabling learners to gain relevant work-based learning experiences and earn both a high school diploma and an applied associate degree within a six-year timeframe.

This blog post is the second in a Q&A series featuring interviews with three of our Network researchers to highlight new and relevant CTE research and how state CTE leaders might leverage the findings to make evidence-based decisions. Advance CTE is producing the series in partnership with the CTE Research Network.
