    Pathway Documents

     

    Career Pathway documents are designed to show students some possible career opportunities that are open to them depending on their interests, strengths and competencies. Meeting the career-related needs of students calls for alignment with career opportunities in authentic work settings. Career Pathways provide a useful framework to aid both students and educators in making those meaningful connections to the working world. C4 is creating and publishing Career Pathway Documents within its designated Career Majors.

    The first type of pathway listed in the C4 website is designed for the students who may know what broad career field they are interested in pursuing, but they are still exploring the career options available.  Working from this model, C4 will prepare students to enter a number of post secondary options which are available in the state of Indiana.
     
    The second career pathway publication is designed for the student who has decided on a career choice. This pathway is one that is written between C4 and one post secondary institution where a dual credit or articulation agreement is in place. With this document, the student will see a secondary listing of proposed courses to prepare him or her for post secondary studies and also will find a four semester listing of the courses needed while enrolled in the post secondary institution. 
     
    To help students plan their career and college goals, pathway documents are being developed: 
    Entrepreneurship
    Finance
    Accounting – Ivy Tech Community College
    Business Administration – Ivy Tech Community College
    Management
    Marketing
