The College Board announced acquisitions and partnerships to expand career‑connected learning and work‑based programs, including the purchase of District C’s Teamship platform and a partnership with the Carnegie Foundation to grow teacher pipelines for career coursework, College Board officials said. The nonprofit’s shift follows its broader expansion of Advanced Placement into career and technical education and responds to declining four‑year enrollment and growing demand for job‑aligned high‑school opportunities. David Coleman, College Board CEO, framed the moves as efforts to help students get closer to careers while keeping college pathways accessible. K‑12 and postsecondary leaders should expect increased interoperability between college‑entry assessments and career pathways, and districts may race to adopt College Board‑branded CTE offerings. Workforce partners and higher‑ed institutions will need to negotiate alignment, credit transfer, and quality control.
