Bill overview
This bill creates a new ‘Trade Pathways Diploma’ program for high school students interested in entering skilled trades. It would require the Arizona State Board of Education to establish the program, consulting with various stakeholders to determine minimum requirements like course credits and competencies aligned with industry needs. Students could earn credits through vocational courses, apprenticeships, or community college coursework, and the Department of Education would need to report on program participation and student outcomes. The bill also modifies existing graduation requirements to include more emphasis on social studies, specifically requiring a civics test.
