About Career Kickstart 

Career Kickstart (CK) expands the successful AP model to the career and technical education (CTE) space, by offering schools a new set of career-oriented high school courses that provide students with relevant, high-quality instruction and experiences that lead to industry-recognized credentials and college credit, and ultimately, power students' progress to in-demand jobs in high-growth sectors and choice-filled lives.
