About

Career Pathways help students prepare for a life after school.

A Career Pathway is deliberate series of courses made up of a principles course, concentrator A course, concentrator B course, and capstone course that all connect to post-secondary education/training and a career.

Most pathways have embedded transferrable dual college credit and industry credentials as part of the pathway. Some result in a technical certificate or eliminating one year of post-secondary education.

The Vigo County School Corporation offers 34 Career Pathways across 12 clusters.
