Importance of Pathways Programs
Pathways programs serve as crucial on-ramps for young people, providing them with insights into available opportunities and ways to connect with them. These programs help learners navigate their educational and career paths by linking them to employment, enrollment, or enlistment. The iterative nature of pathways is emphasized, highlighting that they are just as much about off-ramps and transitioning out of positions as they are about entering new ones. This comprehensive approach ensures that learners not only find initial opportunities but also have support and guidance as they make career shifts throughout their lives.
