AR 195 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Urges public high schools in New Jersey to create "Pathways to Purpose Week".

This non-binding resolution urges New Jersey public high schools to create a "Pathways to Purpose Week" during the week of May 1, when many students confirm college enrollment. It directly affects high school students and schools, aiming to recognize multiple post-graduation options beyond college - such as apprenticeships, military service, and other career paths - based on data showing about 30% of seniors do not pursue immediate college enrollment. The resolution cites declining apprenticeship participation and underrepresentation in military enlistment among NJ youth as context. It does not mandate action but asks schools to honor all paths equally during this designated week, alongside existing college enrollment celebrations.
