What is Seamless Education?

As used at Central Educational Center, a national model school located in Newnan, Georgia, "seamless education" is the product of a precise design and development process that purposefully breaks down barriers between:

  • Academics and Career/Technical Education (CTE)
  • High School and College
  • Education and Business

National research in education and workforce development reveals that as many as 80% of U.S. jobs require more technical training than provided by a high school diploma but less than a full four-year college degree. Only 20% of American jobs require a four-year or higher degree. A truly seamless approach to education guarantees that all students will be equally well-prepared for success in a job or college or both.

Hello Seamless!

I'm familiar with the work you've done at Newnan. Great success story! I'd like to see it replicated in other communities.

Good luck!
