A Career Pathway is a coherent, articulated
sequence of rigorous academic and career courses,
commencing in the ninth grade and leading to an
associate degree, and/or an industry-recognized
certificate or licensure, and/or a baccalaureate
degree and beyond. A Career Pathway is
developed, implemented, and maintained in
partnership among secondary and postsecondary
education, business, and employers. Career
Pathways are available to all students, including
adult learners, and are designed to lead to
