Madison Park, the only comprehensive vocational school in Boston, is uniquely positioned to be a talent pipeline for employers around the region, according to a report published earlier this week by the Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce (GBCC).

Ready for Work: Leveraging the Madison Park Talent Pipeline includes six recommendations from the chamber that aim to evaluate and align Madison Park programs with labor market trends, provide Madison Park students with a competitive advantage on the job market and strengthen relationships with the business community.

Madison Park, located in Roxbury, has historically struggled to maintain an academically successful program. The school is among the worst-performing in the state, according to state Department of Elementary and Secondary Education statistics. Its four-year graduation rate is just under 57 percent and the state classifies it as requiring “broad and comprehensive support.”

The report consists of quantitative and qualitative data analysis including wage and job projections, employer interviews, and research from career vocational/technical education (CVTE) programs from around the state. In the online version, there are two interactive data dashboards that allow for a more in-depth view of Madison Park’s programs and occupational projections for both the state and city.

“Boston’s Madison Park and other CVTE schools, are a vital resource to our city’s and state’s current and future workforce development,” James E. Rooney, president and CEO of the GBCC, said in a statement. “Ultimately CVTE schools and our region’s employers have the same goal: a dynamic pipeline of competitive graduates who can fill in-demand jobs, begin prosperous careers, and drive our region’s continued economic success. To realize this goal, we need to ensure that these graduates have the in-demand skills employers seek, which requires stronger communication and partnership between the CVTE programs and the business community.”

The Madison Park report delves into three specific program areas with projected job growth between now and 2026 that is greater than nine percent and wages that are higher than other positions with similar education requirements: information technology, health care, and construction. For each of these, the report notes specific occupations that students can pursue and the skills employers cite as needed for succeeding in the field.

The report also offers factors Madison Park should consider as it explores new programs and recommends four potential programs that align with employers’ needs in the coming years. Other recommendations stress the importance of soft skills, conducting a program audit, and strengthening engagement with employers.

“Madison Park has demonstrated a willingness to look toward the future, and the school has the foundation to prepare its students for successful careers in a range of industries,” Rooney added. “We believe that constructive partnerships with employers can take Madison Park and other CVTE schools to the next level by defining needed skillsets and adjusting the curriculum accordingly, exposing students to more workplace settings and state-of-the-art equipment, and providing more professional development for teachers. We at the Chamber look forward to working with Boston Public Schools and incoming Superintendent Dr. Brenda Cassellius to create the platform for those partnerships.”
