CTE Success Story
Streamlining CTE for Student Success in Louisiana
iCEV brings consistency, structure, and real-world relevance to CTE programs in Louisiana.
Creating Consistency and Career Readiness in Louisiana Classrooms
In Caddo Parish Public Schools in Louisiana, district leaders are transforming how Career and Technical Education (CTE) is delivered, using iCEV to create a more consistent, industry-aligned experience for both teachers and students.
Jessica Bogosian, Director of Workforce Development, says the shift to iCEV has been a game changer in Caddo Parish. “Using iCEV has been beneficial in streamlining the support of our teachers and helping students know that by meeting the standards in these courses, they’re going to benefit going out into the world,” she explains. A centralized platform for CTE provides all CTE teachers with a primary curriculum source, while also ensuring students receive a cohesive learning experience, even if they transfer between schools.
That consistency is key. In the past, Caddo Parish’s CTE programs and courses varied widely from school to school. Now, iCEV provides a shared foundation rooted in current industry standards. “If we're all under the same umbrella, then that's what's going to make the biggest impact for students and it's going to allow us to support teachers better at the district level,” Bogosian says.
In classrooms, teachers using iCEV benefit from both structure and flexibility. “It gives you the foundation, standards, scope and sequence, and activities, but teachers have autonomy to adjust,” Bogosian notes. Teachers can tailor instruction while maintaining programmatic alignment across the district.
Students are seeing the impact as well. With curriculum tied directly to workforce expectations and integrated certification prep, learners better understand how their coursework connects to careers. This alignment is helping drive success in competitive opportunities like SkillsUSA, where numerous Caddo Parish students have earned top honors.
Caddo Parish serves as an example of combining structure, flexibility, and industry alignment to create a stronger, more consistent CTE program that better prepares students for life beyond the classroom.
