A Tool for Sustaining Career Pathways Efforts

This paper from RTI International outlines key considerations for implementing career pathways strategies and provides a checklist of action items that states or local communities can use to assess the status of their sustainability efforts. It draws from research on change management theory, which has produced strategies for sustaining organizational shifts, and presents lessons learned from states participating in the Advancing Career and Technical Education in State and Local Career Pathways Systems project, a three-year initiative funded by the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Career, Technical, and Adult Education..
