Building Pathways to Career, Connection, and Choice

What would it take to build pathways that lead to genuinely choice-filled lives for young people? In order to thrive, young people need not just careers but clear connections to the economy, education and training institutions and systems, communities, and social networks. To build these connections and multiply choices for young people, we need pathways with no wrong door and no dead ends—which will require a renewed focus on credential quality and job quality in pathways design. Join us on April 28, 10–11 a.m., for a free webinar to learn more about emerging national research and new tools that can support the development of pathways that lead not only to careers but to connection and choice.

Presenters:

  • Charlotte Cahill, Associate Vice President, JFF
  • Kyle Hartung, Associate Vice President, JFF
