Roadmap of Opportunities Institute

波士顿地区先进技术教育联盟（BATEC）在暑期学院和后续活动中使用了NWCET信息技术技能标准，以了解行业需求，并使合作学校的学术课程与之相一致。对BATEC合作学校的相关课程进行了编目，在功能集群内解决了学术成果和技能标准，并指出了差距和冗余。这就形成了一个“机会路线图”——一个2+2+2的地图框架，以确保信息技术职业集群的灵活性，并作为学校之间未来合作协议的基础。“路线图”还提供导航指导，方便学生以灵活、系统的方式通过不同的教育水平，并设有多个出入口。

The NWCET Skill Standards for Information Technology are used by The Boston Area Advanced Technological Education Connections (BATEC) in a summer institute and follow on activities to understand industry requirements and to align academic curricula of the partner schools with them. Relevant curricula from the BATEC partner schools are cataloged, the academic outcomes and skill standards addressed within functional clusters, and gaps and redundancies are noted. This results in a "Roadmap of Opportunities" - a 2+2+2 mapping framework to ensure flexibility in and across information technology career clusters that serves as a foundation for future cooperation agreements between the schools. The "roadmap" also provides navigational guidance to facilitate student movement through various educational levels in a flexible, systematic manner with multiple entrance and exit points.
