Consolidating literacy education, postsecondary education, skill training, jobs, and support resources to expedite user access and mobility
Using a coordinated assessment system to determine skill level for appropriate education and training placement
Intake and resource referral process that is centralized and coordinated
(CLASP, 2013)
A Pathways System seeks to create a more efficient path to improve user access and mobility through
the system by:
3
The Pathways System
“Knowns” of the current systems:
Disconnects in education and training delivery systems Lack structures in place to help students navigate disconnects, access to critical
support services
Basic skills education:
is traditional, drawn-out sequential structure that incurs high costs
does not contextualize instruction
does not make connections to world of work
does not provide support for students who must work and support families
4
Redesigning the delivery of education, training, employment, and support services with partnerships and collaboration
More financially prudent for partners to commit to supporting a shared strategy
Improves collective capacity to meet workforce needs and opens doors of opportunity for low-income, lower-skilled individuals
Adopting a Pathways Approach means:
5
Local/Regional Pathways Systems involve
A partnership among local and/or regional agencies, organizations, institutions, employers/industry, and philanthropic entities
6
Well articulated sequence of education and training offerings
Multiple points of Entry to accommodate differing entry level skills(adult and out of school youth)
Multiple points of Exit at successively higher levels of educationand employment aligned with marketable, stackable, “creditable” credentials
Supportive services and navigation assistance in all pathways
Structural Elements of a Pathways System:
7
Bridge Programs focus on underprepared adults and youth
Basic Education Skills such as ABE, ESL
Employability skills
Parenting and family literacy skills
Finance management skills
Accessing opportunities
Supportive service connections
Career explorations and Guidance
8
Guiding Principles to Manage Local/Regional Pathways:
Create a Sector Partnership with Employers, Education/Training Resources, and Social Service Providers
Adopt and articulate a shared vision and goals
Determine and clarify Partners’ roles and responsibilities
Ensure Pathways are industry/employer driven, focus on agreed upon sectors/occupations, and deeply engage employers
Professional Development

Types of Interventions of Pathways programs
Learner-center approaches to instruction Contextualized learning Dual enrollment Acceleration Prior learning assessment
Appropriate and meaningful assessment of participants’ skills and needs
Supportive services: academic, career, family literacy, parenting, social service needs and access
10
A Comprehensive Pathways System includes:
Traditional academic high school-to-college pathways
Secondary and postsecondary career and technical education pathways
Pathways for underprepared adult and youth, dislocated workers, adults with disabilities, family interventions, and mental health interventions
11
A Pathways System does not:
replace any existing pathways
A Pathways System:
connects and enhances existing systems
