Career Pathways

The road to success is not always linear

Career Pathways offer an efficient, customer-centered approach to education and training by successfully aligning secondary, postsecondary and adult education with vital student advising and support services.

This results in a series of connected education and training opportunities that allow individuals to secure and connect industry relevant skills and certifications, positioning them to enter and advance in a specific career field.

Returning Student Finds New Opportunity

“I am a believer when one door closes another door opens. I think it was meant to be. I think that was one of the best things that could have happened to me. My skill set pretty much doubled. Just in being able to communicate openly, honestly and respectfully. I think all those things make me much more of a qualified person.”
