This practice guide provides community colleges with five specific recommendations for supporting occupational skills training through career pathways.
This policy brief presents a comprehensive policy approach to providing high-quality work-based learning experiences that prepare participants for postsecondary and workforce success in high-demand occupations.

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.
