What is a Career Pathway?
A career pathway is a series of connected educational
programs, with integrated work experience, on-the-job training, and
support services, that enables students to combine school and work
and advance over time to better jobs and higher levels of education
and training. Career pathways target jobs of importance to local
economies. They are designed to create educational "stepping
stones" for advancement of workers and jobs seekers, particularly
those stuck in low-wage jobs, and a supply of qualified workers for
employers. As such, career pathways help to ensure that investment
in education and training pays off in enhanced economic
development.
