Regional Pathway Collaboration

Connections are made between students from different schools in a region within an aligned pathway. Older students can be guest speakers, project mentors, resources, etc.

These connections can be done in-person or through a virtual platform under the direct supervision of a teacher or approved school staff member (if students are underage).

Regional Pathway Collaboration Goals

Under supervision, students from each level can mentor and share their career pathway journeys with other students

Provide opportunities for students to explore and understand educational and career options in order to develop and implement personal, educational, and career goals

Encourage students to ask questions and learn more about getting hired and advancing in different careers from students at a more advanced continuum level

Build networks between teachers at different educational institutions
