Connecting Activities Connecting Activities (CA) is a Department of Elementary and Secondary Education initiative designed to drive and sustain the statewide school-to-career system. The CA state line item leverages the initial federal School to Work investment in Massachusetts that created self-sustaining Local Partnerships throught out the Commonwealth. CA dollars flow through the 16 local Workforce Investment Boards working in concert with their local Youth Councils to implement school-to-career policy and programming. Through the local Workforce Investment Boards, CA funds pay for staff to recruit employments; prepare and place students in brokered work-based learning opportunities; and structure those experiences through the use of Massachusetts Work-Based Learning Plan. Through CA, students achieve more learning hours by extending the classroom to the workplace while providing more adults who can support these students in one-to-one relationships.
