Career Pathways
Wisconsin has taken a deliberate and focused approach to mapping occupational groups called Career Pathways. Each pathway provides a guide on how careers can progress from one level to the next and many include the activities and supports that are often required to meet the next level of achievement. SWWDB fully supports the opportunities outlined in Career Pathways as skill development is most often a progressive process wherein future success is secured by past mastery.
The Career Pathway model explains, for example, how a nursing assistant certificate earned in high school can lead to careers as a nurse, doctor, physical therapist, hospital administrator, etc. Career Pathways are guides that are used by adults, youths, parents, educators and workforce development staff to explain and map career success.
