PWR Regional Trainings 2025-26

Regions for the 2025-26 School Year - SAVE THE DATE!

Updates to Postsecondary & Workforce Readiness at CDE

As a result of the passage of SB25-315, there are significant changes coming to postsecondary and workforce readiness options to support access to career pathways for all students in Colorado. The Office of Postsecondary and Workforce Readiness will host fall trainings around the state to support districts and schools in understanding the new PWR updates, including new funding information, “The Big Three” outcomes (college credit, industry-recognized credentials, and quality work-based learning), and accountability changes to the PWR sub-indicator on the performance framework. A new ICAP Model will also be offered as an optional tool to implement The Big Three.

Registration Details

Registration will open 2-3 weeks prior to each training date with a waitlist enabled once capacity is reached. Priority will be given to regional districts and schools. While registration will not close, we ask that attendees register at least one week before the event date so we can arrange for any accommodations and dietary needs.

General registration for Pikes Peak will open on Monday, August 25. Check this page for the registration link at that time. Please note that our priority is for local district and school staff to attend these trainings, so we may restrict registration accordingly.
