Position Paper

In the evolving landscape of education in the United States, career pathways are emerging as a transformative force for learners to navigate a future demanding a skilled and adaptable workforce.

Research has shown that early exposure to career options is crucial in developing learners’ interests and aspirations. However, many Black, Latino, and low-income learners lack access to high-quality opportunities to gain that exposure and to acquire the credentials necessary to be competitive in our nation’s economy. In this position paper, UnidosUS and the National Urban League (NUL) propose addressing these challenges by investing in and scaling a community-based pathways navigation model.
