Users of the checklist can review how programs meet the required criteria under the WIOA career pathway definition:
• If the program meets a criterion, check the “Yes” box and describe the evidence demonstrating how the criterion is met.
• If the program does not meet a criterion, check the “No” box and describe what enhancements the program needs to make in order to meet the criterion.

• Identifying the skills that are needed by high-demand employers
• Determining how students are deemed proficient in these skills
• Identifying the credentials that employers value in making labor market
• decisions
• Providing work-based learning opportunities for students
