Career Pathways Leadership
Certification Workshops

Are you a new Career Pathways coordinator or a Tech Prep coordinator, CTE administrator, counselor, dean, division chair, or faculty member whose duties have expanded to include Career Pathways?  If so, help is on the way.

NCPN has developed a certification workshop for current and future leaders designed to provide tools and resources for your Career Pathways implementation. To date, more than 700 individuals have received the Career Pathways Leader certification. 

Career Pathways Leadership Certitifcation workshops are typically contracted through state or local education agencies.

The workshops involve fifteen contact hours over two days. The primary instructor is Debra Mills, CORD Vice President for Partnerships. 

Workshop topics include:

Academic Achievement
Adult Career Pathways

Comments from some of the participants:

"I'm sure you noticed the light turning on in my mind and my several 'a-ha' moments during the two days of training. You helped me see the big picture, and now I get it. I understand what Career Pathways is and where I fit in the scheme of things."

"This training is accurately called 'leadership' training because it will motivate and empower you to step up to the plate."

"...it was my Career Pathways Leadership training, more than any other single event, that has helped me 'get it'!! No 'if' 'ands' or 'buts' about it...we MUST all work together if Career Clusters is going to work for our students."

"An absolutely wonderful program chocked full of info and ideas. I really learned a lot and enjoyed the time spent doing so. The info and ideas will come into immediate use as we work to secure grant funding for some Adult Career Pathways initiatives."

"It was excellent! It met all of our expectation and more. Carol and Sharon were superb. I wish I could have recorded everything they said. I would then burn it into my brain for future reference when I do presentations. They gave great information and communicated it in such a fashion that it was understandable and relevant. I received many comments from participants that this was one of the best workshops/conferences they have attended in a long time."
