- 10. Success Story: Student’s Own Pathway John is starting his senior year in high school and is interested in a health care career after considering many career options. After speaking with his counselor, John learns he can get started in health care by completing the Health Care Customer Service Representative pathway certificate through dual credit. John successfully completes this certificate and is able to apply for patient representative or patient scheduling positions in local clinics. John knows after completing this certificate and shadowing someone in a clinic that the health care field is the right choice for him. He decides to continue this career development by attending NWTC for the Medical Assistant technical diploma. All 7 of John’s credits from the pathway certificate apply to the Medical Assistant program so he is able to complete the program in as few as 26 credits. After speaking with his academic advisor at NTWC, John knows that he could return to complete his Practical Nursing technical diploma after successfully completing the Medical Assistant program and working as a Certified Medical Assistant for at least 3000 hours.
- 20. How You Can Promote Career Pathways & APT? • Be Knowledgeable About Career Pathways • Consistent connections within program pathways to increase employment opportunities, credential attainment, and continuing education • Understand why Career Pathways & APT are important to your students • Student Success • Preparing students to make educated decision about post high school career • Responsibility to labor market and our community • Increasing demand for credentialed workforce
- 21. How You Can Promote Career Pathways & APT? • Speak with high school students about Career Pathway options • “Follow your own pathway to success. If you want to go to college full-time and earn your degree in two years, you can do it at NWTC. If you want to start with a certificate that can help you obtain an entry-level career - and then come back later on to continue your education - you can do that here too. Another excellent option is to save time and money by earning college credit in high school.” • “All of the credits in the certificate and technical diploma programs completely transfer to the highest credential in the specific career pathway.” • “When you enroll in the highest credential in a pathway, you are automatically admitted to the related certificate and technical diploma program/s in that career pathway - for free!”
Editor's Notes
- Vicki Essential features of quality Career Pathways: Well-connected and transparent education, training, support services, and credential; Multiple entry points – for both well-prepared students and targeted populations; and Multiple exit points. Own pathway based on personal needs and previous employment and learning experiences Each student has his or her own unique pathway based on their needs and previous employment and learning experience. Some students may start with K12 dual credits options while in high school while other students may start a pathway at the Associate Degree level as they obtained a lower credential previously.
- Erin D. Program pages show how credits apply to other programs The great new is the College has always been a Superhero when it comes to the Career Pathways concept. As you can see, many programs’ webpages show how a lower credential can be applied to a technical diploma or associate degree and many higher credentials’ program pages show which how a student may have completed classes through a lower credential.
- Vicki Many definitions/types all lead to education and employment success Student’s own pathway There are many definitions and types of Career Pathways at our College and within the WTCS system. We are going to talk about a few of the pathways—including 100% Embedded, K12, Career Pathways Bridge, Program to Program Bridge, and what we have been calling ‘Bumpy’ Pathways. As we mentioned in the previous graphic, each student also has his or her own pathway when completing a program.
- Vicki Commonality of all types of pathways = 16 National Career Clusters One commonality of all pathway types is that they are centered on the 16 National Career Clusters. These clusters allow a student to decide a career area that he or she would like to pursue and then narrow down their career choice to the actual program pathway.
- When planning for dual credit options, local high schools consider the national 16-Career Cluster model for career planning that we talked about earlier. These are the clusters and pathways represented through the current K12 agreements.
- Erin D - students starting in Fall 2016; apply for their intent, and we will work with them to get into smaller credentials App Highest credential; pathway down, never up Pathway down, never up Currently, the College has 17 100% Embedded Pathways involved in the ‘auto’ admissions process. Information and visuals for the 2015-2016 Auto Admissions Pathways can be found on the Hub. For these pathways, students are submitting an application for the highest credential that they intend to complete within the pathway. One example is: Early Childhood Education. That student’s application is then webbed to the smaller credentials (Licensing Basic 0-2 and Licensing Basics 3-5) and students are automatically enrolled into the lower credentials when matriculated to the highest credentials. A student‘s application would never be webbed to the higher credential or go up the pathways ladder. So if a student applied to Licensing Basic 0-2, that student would not be added to Early Childhood Education. Every part of the Auto Admissions process hinges on the student’s intent of which credential is the highest they intend to complete.
- Brooke? Complete post-secondary credits while in high school Explore career options 2015-2016 visuals show classes K12 Dual Credit Options allow high school students to complete post-secondary credits while in high school through a variety of options. This allows students an opportunity to explore career options while finishing high school. The 2015-2016 Career Pathway visuals show K12 classes that may be available through local high schools that ladder into the pathway.
- Erin D Definition of Career Pathways Bridge Name 8 pathways Career Pathways Bridge programs bridge Adult Basic Education and English Language Learner programming with post-secondary education. There are currently 8 pathways represented in the Career Pathways Bridge programming including Accounting, Electrical Systems, Human Resources, Medical Assistant, Nursing Assistant, Office Professional, Personal Care Worker, and Welding
- As Erin, Danielle and Brooke explained, career pathways is a way of organizing education into attainable steps to lead students toward graduation and better jobs. The Academic Planning Tool, also currently known as APT, is the electronic, personalized, and adaptable tool to help guide students from career exploration through graduation. This tool will utilize the same information gathered during the creation of career pathways to help students plan their academic career and hopefully gets students from start to finish in an efficient, logical and transparent manner.
- Today I’m going to tell you the story of James. James is about to graduate from high school and he knows that he wants to continue his education, but really has no idea what he wants to be when he grows up. Currently, his future goals include making lots of money, moving out of his parent’s house and someday owning his own business. In order to help James gain a little insight into a career that may interest him, his high school counselor encourages him to check out the academic planning tool that NWTC promotes on its website. The tool should help James determine what career path would be the best fit for his particular skill set by guiding him through an interest inventory and program discovery area. It will help guide James to programs that he would likely feel passionate about and be successful in. James is like a lot high school students in that he uses his mobile phone for everything he does. The idea that he can explore his post high school options from his phone entices him just enough to download the APT to his mobile device and start exploring programs.
- Good News! James finds the tool fun and easy to navigate. After some investigation, James’ skills and interests suggest he should go into Business Management. After looking at the program details, he decides it sounds like the right career path for him.
- Upon receiving a prompt from the tool, James then completes his application and FAFSA. He is on his way to a new career!
- James is so excited he spends the evening reviewing industry job data and some of the major employers and salaries in his future field. A few days later, after being admitted to the Business Management program, James begins to plan his class schedule. His uncle has offered him full-time work in his landscaping business and James is excited to earn lots of money and maybe move out of his parent’s house within a few months. He is positive he can work full-time and go to school full-time, so he plans to do 15 credits per semester. He selects the courses he laid out in his plan and registers right from the APT tool. James is nervous about going to college, but he can’t wait to graduate and start his own business.
- Uh-oh. Two weeks into classes James is in way over his head and realized that he has a made a huge mistake by taking on a full-time course load. He can’t maintain his full-time job, hang out with his friends and a full-time class schedule. Jim decides he has to cut back his school to part-time. James goes online to drop ‘Accounting for Non-Accountants”, but the APT tool gives him a warning that alerts him that it is only offered in the fall, and if he drops it, it will hinder his progress further. He decides against dropping that course and instead drops a class that is offered more often.
- James has now redone his schedule and he can see that he’s on track to graduate in 8 semesters. He’s also taking summers off so he can spend more time with his friends and work extra hours for his uncle.
- James is pretty confident in his new plan, but he also wants to make sure he’s still on the path to graduation. The APT tool encourages him to make an appointment to speak with his advisor.
- After a great meeting with his advisor, James knows he is now on his way to graduation. He also knows that if his work-load changes, he can adjust his school schedule to work for him.
- Future 2018 Metrics: Pre-College Prep, Workforce Demand Student Success: We know a student’s success increases when they have the options and support needed to complete a program. Career Pathways allows a student to concentrate on the lower program to ease back into the school or explore a career path without the student having to commit to the larger program. Career Pathways also allows a student to gain employment within the field while continuing for the higher program. Responsibility to labor market and our community: Our programs have always been tied to current employment opportunities. Career Pathways continues to encourage the development of programs that directly connect to employment opportunities and meets the needs of local employers who need employees with certain skill sets that may be tied to a lower credential that was not previously available.
