Learning for Careers provides a comprehensive account of the
Pathways to Prosperity Network, a national project that offers
urgently needed career pathways for young Americans who do not have
a four-year college degree. It takes as its starting point the
influential 2011 Pathways to Prosperity report, which challenged
the prevailing idea that the core mission of high schools was to
prepare all students for college. In response, the Pathways Network
was founded in 2012 to promote cooperative arrangements between
educational and business institutions in order to fashion pathways
for young people to acquire twenty-first-century skills and achieve
professional success. This book traces the evolution of the
Pathways Network over the past five years, focusing on the efforts
of a diverse set of states and regions to build systems that span
high school and the first two years of postsecondary education.
States such as Delaware and Tennessee have been highly effective in
establishing systems designed to equip students with credentials
valued in the contemporary labor market. At the same time, the
authors acknowledge the technical, political, and cultural
challenges in redesigning career-focused education to produce
satisfactory outcomes for young people throughout the country.
Learning for Careers offers a way forward for the millions of young
people and employers that face a rapidly evolving and ever more
competitive globalized workplace. This book will be essential
reading for all who have a stake in educational and economic
opportunity in the United States.
