Miami-Dade County Public Schools
Pioneering AI Apprenticeships for High Schools
Education/Technology
Miami-Dade County Public Schools (M-DCPS), specifically its Career & Technical Education Department, serves a diverse student population, preparing them for the competitive demands of the job market. The district emphasizes innovation in education, particularly through its focus on emerging technologies like artificial intelligence (AI).
Challenges:
The department sought to effectively connect high school students with advanced career pathways in AI. They needed a seamless link between high school education and post-secondary apprenticeship opportunities to ensure a smooth transition for students interested in AI careers.
Creating a coherent system that not only educates students but also seamlessly integrates them into relevant career pathways posed a significant challenge. The solution needed to cater to various stakeholders, including students, educators, and apprenticeship providers.
Implementation:
The implementation process began with the integration of GoSprout’s platform into the three high schools’ existing systems. This involved setting up the interest surveys, customizing access to AI-related content, and enabling application features for the apprenticeship program. Training was provided for school counselors and teachers to facilitate the use of the platform in their curriculum and guidance processes.
Collaboration between school administrators and Miami EdTech ensured that the transition from pre-apprenticeship to apprenticeship was smooth, with data sharing agreements in place to protect student information while allowing necessary transparency. This partnership has been instrumental in fine-tuning the program to better serve students’ needs and enhance the overall effectiveness of the career pathway framework.
Solution Highlights:
Apprenticeship Applications: Integrated application systems allow students to apply directly to Miami EdTech’s AI apprenticeship programs. Notifications are sent automatically to Miami EdTech when a student completes pre-apprenticeship requirements and becomes eligible for the registered apprenticeship.
Interest Surveys: GoSprout features tailored interest surveys that help students identify their career inclinations within AI, aligning their education with their passions.
Content Access: The platform provides students with easy access to relevant learning materials, supporting their journey in AI education.
Outcomes:
Efficient Recruitment: Automated notifications and application tracking ease the recruitment process for Miami EdTech, ensuring a steady flow of qualified apprentices.
Streamlined Career Pathways: The direct linkage between pre-apprenticeship programs and registered apprenticeships simplifies the process for students to transition into specialized AI roles.
Enhanced Student Engagement: Interest surveys and accessible content have increased student engagement and retention by aligning educational goals with personal interests and industry demands.
Love for GoSprout:
GoSprout has been a game changer in how we prepare our students for future careers in artificial intelligence. The platform not only supports our educational objectives but bridges the gap between school and career, providing a clear and direct pathway into the industry.
