What You Need to Know About Guided Pathways
There is a massive movement in the U.S. to improve community colleges’ roles in students’ goals. Everyone wants a job, career or improved skills to help them in the workforce. Community Colleges across the nation are redesigning access to completion of your goals in a timely manner. The changes in process include partnerships with high schools and universities to help young students achieve their dreams by using cohorts of faculty and staff for early assessment, career development, and a 10 year plan all the way through the highest education, or whatever your goal may be. The role of the Community College is changing from a cafeteria style to a meta-major pathway to your career. You will receive guidance and encouragement along your guided pathway with clear marks in GPS fashion. Enjoy your journey. Ask for clarity anytime.
