The focus of Pillar 3 is on college and career readiness which includes mathematics and literacy. PGCPS will also build staff capacity and expertise through career coaches, curriculum, resources, technology-based programs and interventions, and training and professional development from state and national experts.
Instruction is aligned to CCR standards and PGCPS has expanded its offering of post-CCR pathways which include Career and Technical Education (CTE), dual enrollment in college courses, Comprehensive Arts, and other college preparatory options for all eligible students. Students will have opportunities to engage in college courses early and/or rigorous technical education leading to apprenticeships and industry-recognized credentials.

The AIB in collaboration with the Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE) and the Career and Technical Education (CTE) Committee collaborated to create the new career counseling program established by the Blueprint for Maryland’s Future. The program is a partnership with the local community college and workforce development board to provide college and career counseling in every PGCPS middle and high school. The three partners in Prince George’s County are Prince George’s County Public Schools (PGCPS), Prince George’s Community College (PGCC), and Employ Prince George’s (EPG). The program prepares students to successfully navigate their post-College and Career Readiness (post-CCR) pathways.
