By the end of this training webinar you will be able to define what a career pathway is, know how the North Carolina Certified Career Pathways process has enhanced the standard career pathway approach, and also know what your roll is, as Career Center Staff, in preparing clients in their search for work using the career pathways approach. Another way to look at career pathways is by a visual. Adult, dislocated workers and youth, in their efforts to find high demand jobs with livable wages, will often use the NC Career Centers to help them get employment. Sometimes they are sent for additional training in job specific skills to help them meet job qualifications. There are also times when a client gets hired for a job right away, and while working, enrolls in additional schooling or training programs to achieve additional credentials to move up the career ladder.

Eight Criteria Demand Driven Employer Engagement Multiple Entry & Exits Work Based Learning Career Awareness Collaborative North Carolina’s Certified Career Pathways are an enhanced version of the standard Career Pathway. To be clear, it is not replacing Career Pathways. Certified Career Pathways simply imply that the integrated, seamless systems of education and workforce development programs, initiatives and resources align with the needs of the local employers by filling the talent pipeline in high-demand occupations. In fact, the regional employers take the lead and let the educators and community partners know precisely what their current and projected employee hiring needs are. Placing employers at the center of this effort is considered to be a key component of the CCP approach and key to long-term success. Measure Success Articulated Courses
