October 28, 2008, 6:47pm (report abuse)I am the Director of Counseling and Career Development at the Middletown Area School District in Middletown, Pa.
Currently we have a career pathway model in our district. We use 5 career pathways to help our studnets,teachers and parents connect to the 21st century workplace. I am encouraged by the legilation addressing this practice at a much broader scope.
I would like to be contacted for a consulting type relationship. I can help this movement at the grass roots level.

October 29, 2008, 11:24am (report abuse)I am the School-to-Career Coordinator at Octorara Area High School in PA. I strongly support this legislation. We adopted career pathways at our high school last year and would like to see it broadly adopted across the state and nation. Many students do not see the "relevance" of high school and career pathways can give students a clear direction of post-secondary planning to take them to the next level after high school. Also, with the soaring cost of post-secondary education and many in-demand jobs being unfilled, it is more urgent than ever that we provide students with the proper direction to assist them with their career planning. I would be happy to assist in this in any way I can.
