3. The Career Development and Occupational Studies (CDOS) Learning Standards Across the Lifespan: Connecting Knowledge to Skills

Program: Capital District Regional Partnership Center

Dates: 7/14/2026

Transition-focused education means that a fundamental purpose of the education students receive is to prepare them for life after high school.

Research indicates the development of self-determination skills can (should) begin early, and the development of career development skills should begin before high school. Part 100.1(l) of the Regulations of the Commissioner of Education defines Career and Technical Education (CTE) as a kindergarten through adult program area of study that includes rigorous academic content closely aligned with career and technical subject matter, using the State learning standards for career development and occupational studies as a framework.
