Career-Connected Learning
Defined’s comprehensive career-connected learning platform aligns with Georgia's career and technical education initiatives such as the National Career Cluster Model, High School Pathways, Academic Career Pathways, Middle School Introduction, CTAE (Career, Technical, and Agricultural Education) Progam, and the Perkins V State Plan. Our resources help districts strengthen the implementation of CTE by connecting academic learning to Georgia's 17 career clusters and state-recognized programs of study ensuring students explore high-demand pathways aligned with Georgia's workforce priorities.
Through engaging hands-on and minds-on projects across all career clusters and pathways, students build career awareness, reflect on their skills and interests, and gain authentic experiences across industries. Defined also supports Georgia's IGP and local Portrait of a Graduate frameworks by helping districts equip students with employability skills, real-world knowledge, and the confidence to pursue success in college, career, and life.
