By allowing high school students to earn college credit—particularly in careeraligned fields—these programs support smoother transitions into postsecondary education and employment. Research consistently shows that dual enrollment improves rates of high school graduation, college enrollment and completion, and college credit accumulation. 1  \nAs student participation in dual enrollment  grows nationwide, states are adopting a wide range of dual enrollment models, often under different names, that reflect local priorities and partnerships.2 At Jobs for the Future (JFF), we believe that some of the most promising  \nINTRODUCTION  \nprograms are those that intentionally and strategically connect and accelerate students to high-demand career pathways and promising credentials through collaboration between K-12 systems, higher education institutions, and employers. Promising credentials are those that are stackable and portable and prepare young people for jobs that can lead to careers in fields that offer well-paid jobs and opportunities for economic advancement.  \nThis brief includes three case studies highlighting innovative programs that illustrate how dual enrollment can be used as a strategy to meet workforce goals. Two case studies feature program-level designs with strong career alignment, and one showcases a course-level innovation. While the structures vary, each example demonstrates how dual enrollment can serve as a powerful tool for preparing students for both college and careers.  \n4  \n01.  \nCooperative Innovative High Schools in North Carolina  \nEarly college high schools across the United States allow students to earn significant college credit with the possibility of completing an associate’s degree by the time they graduate from high school. Students experience a thoughtfully designed curriculum and course sequence that maximizes opportunities for dual enrollment with postsecondary education partners. Students in early college high schools also receive extensive academic and social support to ease the transition to college coursework.  \nIn the early 2000s, North Carolina established its version of the early college high school model which it calls Cooperative Innovative High Schools (CIHS). CIHSs are public high schools typically located on a community college or university campus that target students at risk of","cbCain1huBHQVUWG","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCain1huBHQVUWG","pdf",2571551,17,"English","# Introduction\n# Cooperative Innovative High Schools in North Carolina\n## Local Example: Hawthorne Academy of Health Sciences\n# Enabling Policies\n# P-TECH High Schools in Texas\n## Local Example: W.H.
