Project Lead The Way (PLTW)

The primary goal of PLTW is to grow the nation's technology workforce (engineers and technicians).  Currently, 1,300,000 engineering/engineering technology jobs are available in the U.S. without trained people to fill them.  The PLTW curriculum provides the kind of student work that helps students reach higher standards in the academic core.

The curriculum for the Leadership Dynamics course has been developed as a separate course for high school students or to be included as a component of the various Career Pathways in Career and Technical Education. The objective of the course is to assist students in preparing for leadership roles during and beyond high school.
