This toolkit is intended for community colleges and their partners in K-12 systems and four-year
institutions who wish to collaborate on creating strong, seamless career pathways for their
students. Career pathways maps perform three main functions: they clarify and align programs and services; they link increasing levels of certification, education, and employment; and they support students in choosing among the opportunities that interest them. Career pathways maps show a progression of certificate, transfers, degrees, and career advancement. Pathways also clarify the connections among these elements and illustrate how students can move more efficiently beyond entry-level employment and help build direct connections between institutions and employers.
This guide assists Kentucky school districts with many facets of the career pathways model as a technical assistance initiative.
