What are Career Pathways?

Career pathways are a series of connected education, training, and support strategies aimed at helping students achieve their own definition of success.

• For kids, career pathways align education and training with the needs of the local job market, provide a range of postsecondary options, result in a high school diploma with at least one industry-recognized credential, and help students enter or advance within an occupation.

• For schools, career pathways provide a specific ACP plan for some occupations. This allows schools to focus on student and curriculum activities with input and support from regional employers and higher education.

• For employers, career pathways make partnership with schools possible. This allows employers to shape the future talent pipeline, foster young talent, and highlight local career opportunities.

The Construction pathway is the first pathway available in the Madison Region. As other pathways become available, our career advising team will work to earn the necessary endorsement.
