Career Pathways – innovative
approach to preparing people for
work in growing careers
Historically, credentials have not been essential to earning a living wage
Even during times of abundance, many experience barriers
Over time, innovators developed bridges to
support disadvantaged
and disconnected
Youth services and school-to-career pioneered career pathway approaches
used in adult services today
