Overman, Stephenie
Techniques: Connecting Education and Careers (J3), v87 n8 p16-19 Nov-Dec 2012
Business, education and community leaders are working together to create alternative career pathways for young people who are not profiting from the four-year college track. The new Pathways to Prosperity Network brings together the Pathways to Prosperity Project at Harvard Graduate School of Education (HGSE), Jobs for the Future (JFF) and six states: Illinois, Maine, Massachusetts, Missouri, North Carolina and Tennessee. Not every student benefits from or even desires the traditional college path. This article explains how the Pathways to Prosperity Network is working to create non-traditional career paths.
