What is a Career Pathway?
A Career Pathway links classroom and career. It defines the specific skills you need for the job you want and shows you how to expand those skills to progress in your career.
Career Pathway Model
A career pathway is a series of connected education and training programs and support services that enable individuals to get jobs in specific industries, and to advance over time to successively higher levels of education and work in that industry. Each step on a career pathway is designed to prepare the participant for the next level of work and education. Career pathways serve to strengthen the systems that produce and keep a region's workforce competitive.1
