Foundations of The Career Pathways Framework

Do you want to do more for your jobseekers than just help them get a job?

We know that a minimum wage job is not a living wage job. How do you support jobseekers to create a pathway to economic and personal success?

One strategy for helping your jobseeker start on the path to economic and personal success is the Career Pathways Framework. The Career Pathways Framework is a holistic approach to career and education planning and placement designed to meet individuals wherever they are on their career journey.

The Career Pathways framework is focused on long-term career success and economic sustainability rather than rapid attachment to employment. It provides workforce development practitioners with the tools and resources to help individuals connect their skills, interests, and experience to the right career for them.

Target Audience: Career Coaches and Counselors, Job Placement Specialists, Training and Development Specialists, Workforce Development Professionals, Managers and Supervisors.
