Extended and New Pathways with Stafford and Caroline

Stafford County Public Schools, in partnership with Caroline County Public Schools, are applying for a GO Virginia
Region 6 implementation grant to expand their Career Technical Education (CTE) pathways in their already
established Stafford Centers and the Academies of Caroline. These pathways would fill gaps supporting the
IT/Data Centers, Distribution and Logistics, and Professional/Scientific/Technical services industry clusters.

The main goal of the collaborative project between Stafford and Caroline School Districts is to leverage targeted
investment to align secondary education with regional economic priorities, based on GOVA’s Region 6 Growth and
Diversification Plan and meet Virginia’s “3E expectations” (enroll, enlist, employ).

The project will establish deep collaborative practices between Stafford and Caroline County Public Schools,
including co-developing curricula, aligning industry-recognized credentials, and conducting joint professional
learning.
