WHY DO I NEED A PATHWAY??
Choose Pathways that are interesting to you and you would like to learn more about.
The purpose of a Pathway is to introduce you to the field – test the waters – see if you
really like the area. If you take a class, don’t like it, then choose another area of interest.
Exploration of Careers through CTAE Pathway Courses enables you to better understand
and know what you really enjoy. Knowing for sure you like a certain field or area of study
will help you decide which college and/or technical school courses to take after graduation.
Discover through CTAE what you enjoy doing, it may be just a hobby later in life, or you
may choose to make a career out of your discovery through CTAE classes and your
Pathway Choice.
