Career Pathways
Career Pathways are available to all students through The Career & Technical Education Departments and are designed to lead to rewarding careers.
The program of studies for each career pathways is a coherent, sequence of rigorous academic and career/technical courses including dual credit opportunities, leading to postsecondary degrees and industry recognized certifications and/or licensures.
Our goal is for students to complete at least four credits within a single career pathway. A “completer” is a student who has earned the required credits as well as the Industry Certifications for that pathway, ensuring they graduate high school Career Ready.
The large majority of students will become "concentrators", meaning they’re focused in one pathway and have passed the EOP and/or Industry Certification Exam.
Note: To participate in co-op, a student must be taking or have taken three credits in a pathway.
