Priority 2 · Develop programs
Washington
A documented CTE program, funding mechanism, or pathway supports targeted development; the current buyer and budget still need qualification.
State evidence
Make the next decision verifiable
Open question
This is a graduation pathway option, not a universal credential mandate. Specific course approval, local funding, product eligibility, and purchasing authority remain unverified.
Recommended action
Crosswalk district CTE sequences and credential preparation to the applicable pathway rules, then qualify the local program budget.
Required before a sales forecast
- Exact product or credential eligibility, supported by a current crosswalk.
- A named buyer with a usable budget and purchasing authority.
- A procurement route, decision date, and implementation capacity.
