West Virginia Career Pathways:High School Students and Adults


5/2925

What Are Career Pathways And Why Are They Important?

Career Pathways act as a personal GPS system for individuals to nd their way to

gainful employment and a successful career. Americas economy has shifted from an

industrial model to an information-technology model. The shift created a signicantincrease in high-skilled occupations and a major decline in low skill jobs. Because

todays workplace needs are more dened, todays job seeker cannot rely on a

generalist approach to their future career. Individuals seeking gainful employment

need to possess a high level of career knowledge so they can make informed

decisions when choosing a career direction.

The Career Pathways illustrated in this publication focus on a 2+2 (high school to

community college) time-shortened, cost-saving plan to specic occupations. Please

keep in mind that a third +2 (four year college) can always be added to the individual

Career Pathways.

Career pathways are planned journeys to informed destinations.
