SLV PWR with the SLV BOCES exists to strengthen education-to-career pathways across the San Luis Valley by equipping educators with the tools, resources, and connections they need to support every learner. Rooted in collaboration and guided by the unique strengths of our rural communities, SLV PWR is designed to make pathway work more accessible, coherent, and impactful across the region.

This site is designed to help the San Luis Valley build the regional capacity needed to meet the demands of the Big Three—post-secondary credit, industry-recognized credentials, and high-quality work-based learning—for students, including the graduating class of 2029. By bringing together resources, pathways, partnerships, and shared tools in one place, the site supports schools, educators, and community partners in expanding access to concurrent enrollment, credentials of value, and meaningful work-based learning experiences. The goal is to strengthen coordination across the region so every student has equitable opportunities to graduate with the experiences and credentials that matter most for post-secondary success and workforce readiness.

This site serves as a shared space where educators can access curricula and instructional resources, connect students to internships and work-based learning opportunities, and engage in professional learning that builds capacity and confidence.  Through a centralized calendar, practical tools, and stories from across the Valley, SLV PWR elevates what’s working and helps align efforts toward a common vision.

Our mission is to empower educators, honor local context, and expand opportunities so that all SLV students can see themselves in their futures—and have clear, supported pathways to reach them. SLV PWR will continue to grow alongside our partnerships, reflecting our commitment to equity, relevance, and collective impact in the San Luis Valley.
