- AP Seminar credit completion with AP Seminar: Across CTE Pathways as Teacher guide and Student Workbook
- AP Seminar participation with increased student and parent interest in CTE pathways
- AP credit awarded to students who would not otherwise enroll in AP courses
- AP4CTE.org website

- Employment – Organizations offer Youth opportunities to participate in governance tasks based on role and associated rights and duties, using a range of easily accessible web technologies.
- Accountability – Standardized Youth Trust Metrics offer transparent and cryptographic accountability that supports Youth, investors, and government verification of organizations’ actions and outcomes.
- Sustainability – Organizations access Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) datasets for investment, reporting, research, and regulatory compliance.
