What are Career Pathways?

In K12 education, a career pathway is a series of connected career and technical education and training opportunities that move seamlessly into a postsecondary option for a specific career area. 

For our students, it is a PHYSICAL DOCUMENT which lays out a ready-made Academic and Career Plan in a specific career cluster area  which takes them through high school and post-secondary opportunities into high-demand career options and a career ladder for advancement.

The Wisconsin Regional Career Pathways (RCP) approach is a statewide effort to deliver high-quality career pathways in high schools that reflect the needs and vision of a regional collaborative group of employers, education, and economic and workforce development.

The regional collaboratives adopt, implement, promote, and monitor high school career pathways in high-skill, in-demand industry sectors. They act as an advisory group, on behalf of regional districts, to identify and overcome barriers that prevent students in the region from accessing the pathway. In addition, the collaborative provides the means necessary for students to participate and complete a pathway by:
  • Taking a sequence of aligned courses,
  • Earning an industry-recognized credential,
  • Enrolling in dual college credit classes,
  • Participating in career-based and work-based learning experiences, and
  • Accessing related Career and Technical Education (CTE) student organizations​
