Schools may already be enrolled, or are considering enrolling, in other NYCPS programs, such as CTE, CRMYA, and/or CS4All. Below you will find details on how FRNYC connects with these other programs.

Career and Technical Education

FRNYC programs may go on to develop a 7+ credit CTE program of study and may seek NYSED approval in the future. A few key considerations:

• FRNYC coursework is already crosswalked with NYSED Career Development and Occupational Studies (CDOS), NYS Next Generation Learning Standards and The Common Career Technical Core (CCTC). Such crosswalking is a required component in the development of a 7+ credit NYSED approvable CTE program of study i
• The FRNYC Financial Literacy Component may count towards the Career and Financial Management requirement for CTE programs of study, so long as this component is delivered by a CTE-certified instructor
• With some modifications, the FRNYC Credential of Value may count as the Technical Assessment requirement for NYSED CTE Endorsement
• By State law, an appropriately licensed CTE instructor must deliver CTE instruction. See the Teacher Recruitment Hiring Guidance for more information related to teacher certification
• See additional considerations for FRNYC schools planning to develop a 7+ credit CTE program of study and seeking NYSED Approval

For additional information, please reach out to Adam Breier, Deputy Executive Director of CTE.

Career Readiness & Modern Youth Apprenticeship (CRMYA)

Schools that implement both CRMYA and FRNYC are encouraged to proactively develop programmatic alignment between the two initiatives:

• Career Connected Instruction: CRMYA coursework (Career Exploration and Pathway Matching) can count toward the FRNYC coursework requirement
• Work-Based Learning: Students who secure apprenticeships through the CRMYA pilot can count those hours toward the WBL requirement for FRNYC
• Financial Literacy: The Career Development coursework has been approved by NYSED to satisfy the Career and Financial Management requirement for CTE students and will satisfy the FRNYC financial literacy requirement as well.

Computer Science Education

Computer Science is a foundational course for all FRNYC technology pathways. For SY23-24, the central Computer Science Education Team (CSE) will work closely with FRNYC schools launching technology pathways in Data Science and Software Development. Schools launching these pathways will be prompted to complete a needs assessment to gauge readiness to implement the coursework and credentials in the sequence so that the CSE team can provide the appropriate PL and support to teachers slated to lead these courses in SY23-24.

Schools launching Cybersecurity pathways will be invited to participate in intro level computer science training through CSE. CSE will support the first course in the sequence, Introduction to Computer Science, but the remaining courses and credentials will be supported by the central FRNYC team in partnership with an outside vendor like CompTIA or Cyber.org.
