Abstract: Real-time and traditional labor market information (LMI) should inform all facets of the state Career Technical Education (CTE) policymaking process. Subsequently, national LMI was the foundation of the process to update the modernized National Career Clusters® Framework. Intentionality when incorporating elements of LMI into supported CTE policies and processes at both the state and local levels can help strengthen existing programs. It can also establish high-quality learner-centered career pathways aligned with postsecondary opportunity and workforce need. This brief articulates the possibilities and innovations of using the modernized Framework to maximize incorporation of LMI into CTE and career pathway systems, including data collection and reporting, funding, and key decision making processes. Ensuring that systems and program structure and design is reflective of the employment opportunities that will exist upon a learner's exit from the education system is crucial to the economic success of both individuals and industry. The resource shares: (1) optimal state for this policy area; (2) promising state practices; (3) key questions for consideration; and (4) recommendations. This resource is part of a collection of briefs that provide recommendations, models, and promising practices to maximize the implementation of the Framework.
