As the standard template for career pathway development in Nevada, LEAP integrates education, government and industry in a standardized process to ensure that workers have the skills they need to succeed in both the short – and long-term in the New Nevada, that education institutions know what they need to teach, and that companies have a qualified workforce. LEAP is designed to be a dynamic and responsive framework. Under LEAP, the following are essential:

• Fully integrated – credits transfer from high school to college and university.
• Standardized – qualifications obtained are recognized and applicable across an industry.
• CTE foundation – pathways are rooted in statewide CTE standards.
• Employer Engagement – company participation is an essential component.
• Life Long Learning – enabled through the frameworks “on” and “off” ramps.
