Education Pipeline

Education Pipeline

SUNY is committed to the development of a comprehensive system of partnerships between SUNY’s 64 campuses and Pre-K-12 schools, business leaders, and other partners dedicated to strengthening the education pipeline to ensure that more students graduate from college prepared to succeed in the workforce.

The Power of SUNY

Developing a stronger education pipeline is a centerpiece of the SUNY strategic plan, The Power of SUNY, and campuses are improving the pipeline every day through a number of initiative and programs. Read about their success here. 

Cradle to Career Success

A cradle to career network brings together leaders in Pre-K-12 schools, higher education, business and industry, community organizations, government leaders, parents and other stakeholders who are committed to helping children succeed from birth through careers. In February 2011, SUNY Chancellor Nancy L. Zimpher was in Washington DC for the launch of the country’s first National Cradle to Career Network, and SUNY is working to bring these networks to regions throughout New York State.

SUNY prepares 5,000 new teachers every year and aims to provide school districts with teachers of the highest quality.
