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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
