The Career Pathways Effect
Designed as a how-to guidebook for administrators, faculty, counselors, and business
partners, The Career Pathways Effect brings together 27
national experts on Career Technical Education (CTE), Career Pathways, and Programs
of Study. This timely publication represents a collaborative effort between the Center
for Occupational Research and Development (CORD) and the National Association of
State Directors of Career Technical Education Consortium (NASDCTEc) to offer
evidence-based support for the concepts and principles associated with Career Clusters,
Career Pathways, and Programs of Study and a template for more uniform implementation
across the nation. The Career Pathways Effect is organized around NASDCTEc’s
new vision for CTE; five guiding principles to help ensure students of all ages are
prepared to succeed in education and careers that will enable the U.S. to flourish
in an increasingly competitive global economy. Learn from experienced leaders as
they offer guidance to states, local districts, postsecondary institutions, and
business leaders on systemic improvement and innovation in the development of Career Pathways.
The Career Pathways Effect supports:
- Faculty and staff professional development
- Program redesign efforts
- Policy planning
- Business-education partnerships
Workshops
CORD and NASDCTEc have developed professional development
workshops based on the major themes of the book to support practitioners in the
implementation and improvement of Career Pathways. Workshops can be offered as
individual events or as a series, and are a great way to jumpstart or reinvigorate
Career Pathways efforts in your community or state. Each can be customized to meet
local needs. Learn more about available workshops.
