P-20 Council - Historical
The P-20 Council supports collaboration among four sectors - early childhood, K-12, higher education and workforce training - to create an effective education and career pathway that maximizes the number of skilled people in Connecticut with a postsecondary degree or other credential.
About the P-20 Council - Historical
On October 18, 2012, Governor Dannel P. Malloy announced the creation of a new P-20 Council to carry the work forward of the previously existing Council. While similar in name, the P-20 Council has a distinct mission and is a separate entity from the Preschool through Twenty and Workforce Information Network (P20 WIN).

On October 26-28, 2011, the P-20 Council hosted three, regional, one-day workshops on college and career readiness. These workshops allowed participants to develop a shared understanding of college and career readiness and build relationships between secondary and postsecondary leaders in an effort to improve coordination and alignment to increase student success. The workshops were facilitated by the Educational Policy Improvement Center (EPIC) at Housatonic Community College, Naugatuck Valley Community College, Manchester Community College.
During the workshops, presenters provided an overview of the current state of college readiness, the prevailing disconnect between K-12 and postsecondary systems, the resulting impact on students, and the importance of ensuring that all students graduate high school prepared to enroll and succeed in credit-bearing college courses or career-ready with skills expected by employers. Participants learned about and were provided tools, techniques, and strategies to work locally to improve college readiness, leaving the workshop with an action plan to work with their communities.
Over 425 education leaders from around the state participated in the workshops - leaders from K-12 and postsecondary education, career and technical education, adult education, state agencies and associations, philanthropy, and more. Every public postsecondary institution and over fifty school districts attended representing close to 50% of the public high school graduates produced in the state last year.
Funding for the College and Career Readiness Workshops and related activities and materials is provided by the Nellie Mae Education Foundation and Connecticut's College Access Challenge Grant program.
