What is futureforward?

FutureForward unifies all of the Career and Technical Education (CTE) programming across Adams 12 Five Star Schools and gives all students a competitive advantage as they enter college, career, or the military. Students in FutureForward:

  • Explore opportunities that prepare them for high-demand careers and give them an edge in entering college.

  • Engage in authentic, hands-on learning.

​

FutureForward career pathways are based on the state and national Career Cluster model in an effort to help learners navigate their way to greater success in career and college. The pathways are intentionally developed to provide links between secondary and post-secondary options. In the process, the pathways help learners to discover where their interests and passions lie.
