Welcome to Career Pathways and High School Articulation

                                      

Transition from an Industrial Age to an Information Age has produced profound changes in the career preparation requirements of students. In this rapidly changing world there is no longer a single path to success, but many paths on a journey of continuous development and life-long learning. Young people today must be prepared for a lifetime of:

  • continual learning

  • acquisition of new skills

  • ongoing career management in response to rapidly changing opportunities

Career guidance and development is a critical component of any Career Pathways program.  Students need assistance in defining their career interests and they should understand their aptitudes and abilities.  They need ongoing support to develop and pursue their career goals, and they need to see a direct relationship between their education and the world of work.  Connecting students to the workplace through job shadowing, internships, apprenticeships, and projects will encourage them to plan for their futures.
