Career Pathways

What are Career Pathways?

The High School to College and Career Pathways initiative helps match education and workplace needs.  Through partnerships with post-secondary institutions in our area, the school district, business, and industry, Pathways identify and group courses within Career and Technical Education (CTE) areas of study that offer students depth of knowledge and skill, linked with specific post-secondary programs culminating in degrees or certificates.  Specifically, a Pathway is three High School credits in a specific and designated Career Pathway.

The Utah Office of Education recognizes students that complete a Pathway with a certificate and Hurricane High School honors the completers at our Honors Awards Night that includes a rope to be worn at graduation.

Pathway Goals:

·         Maximize opportunities for students.

·         Increase student awareness of careers and education and training.

·         Ease student transitions between secondary and post-secondary education through concurrent enrollment, skill assessment recognition, and comprehensive counseling and guidance.

·         Align training with employer needs.

·         Provide strong academic skills and real-world problem solving skills.
