Pathways at Lane Community College
What is a Career Pathway?
A career pathway is a series of low-cost and convenient educational programs that
give students the opportunity to advance to higher levels of
employment in a given industry or occupational sector. Each step on a career pathway
is designed to prepare students to progress to the next level of employment and education.
Career pathways target jobs in industries of importance to the local economy. They are designed to
create both avenues of advancement for workers already in their fields and
to supply new, highly qualified workers for local employers.
Where are you in your educational and work plans? Where would you like to be? Here are some of the ways you can create your path at Lane. To get the full story, please talk with one of our career counselors.
