What is Guided Pathways?
Guided Pathways is an equity-centered framework designed to improve student success by redesigning the student experience. It helps students explore, enter, and complete programs that lead to meaningful careers and further education.
Washington State’s Vision:
To ensure all students—particularly those historically underserved—have clear pathways to credentials, support to reach their goals, and a system that actively works to remove barriers.
