Career Pathway Programs
Why apply for Career Pathway Program?
Career pathways programs offer occupation-specific training in high-growth industries such as health care, advanced manufacturing, or information technology. Such programs combine academic and technical education with supportive services; many also incorporate work experience and bridge programs. Career pathways are designed to allow individuals to participate in sequenced training courses of increasingly advanced skills and credentials with multiple entry and exit points, allowing participants to enter the labor force with marketable skills and credentials and return to education later, with credits allowing them to move towards a degree.
Many programs will:
- offer industry-recognized certificates
- provide paid training and apprenticeships
- offer academic credits associated with an accredited college
- ongoing career guidance and support post-program
- additional support, such transportation, living stipends, & toolsÂ
