Career Pathways

What is a Career Pathway?

Career Pathways are groups of courses that assist students toward a specific career. Each Career Pathway program provides a “roadmap” of study that illustrates the courses or degree requirements that will lead students to their desired education and employment goals. Some of these courses can be completed in high school before students begin college.

Why complete a Career Pathway?

Career Pathways help students meet high school graduation requirements
Career Pathways help students realize if they need education beyond high school and what type of education they should acquire
Career Pathways help students understand and prepare for entry into their chosen field of work
Career Pathways help keep students interested in what they are learning in school
Career Pathways help students to stay focused on their goals and provide a written “roadmap” for students to follow which helps to avoid duplication of courses and speeds the process along
Career Pathways can also help students to determine if their chosen goal is realistic and may help students to realize that their career choice is not correct
