Education Commission of the States
A career pathway system is made up of multiple programs that span educational institutions, workforce entities and support service partners. These systems are oriented around a shared understanding of the needs of industries. Career pathway systems are one of many policy models states use to help connect education and workforce in the K-12, postsecondary, and workforce governance systems. Administration of pathway systems varies across states, from single agency oversight -- such as the K-12 system -- to combined oversight models that are administered by K-12, postsecondary and workforce agencies. This report provides information regarding which agency is the primary coordinator of each state's career pathway systems.
