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.

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.
