Summary	The task of making important career decisions for many individuals and especially high school students occur during high school and beyond. Preparing students to be ready for work, life, and citizenship will require a different approach that would still focus on career and college readiness. New outcomes for what students need to know and be able to do, would require a different orientation for teaching and learning in the classroom. Having a way to bridge the gap between high school students and educational opportunities leading to employment is a problem facing leaders in Randolph County and Randolph Community College. There is not a program in place to address the career readiness skills gap when working with the high school students in the Career and College Promise Program at Randolph Community College. According to the Randolph County Environmental Data Scan published in November of 2015, 44.7% of the county's labor force is over the age of 44.
