Career Pathway Resource

Ohio Lt. Governor Jon Husted, Director of the Governor’s Office of Workforce Transformation, has created this resource that provides information for students, parents, and teachers about the different career pathways available to Ohio students. 

​

The “Find Your Career Pathway” resource encourages Ohio students, parents, and schools to start conversations earlier about the best pathway to a successful career in Ohio. 

​

The video features five students from around the state sharing their experiences with each pathway. The highlighted pathways include: Find Your Career Pathway! - YouTube

In addition to this video, an accompanying toolkit was developed to share additional information on the various pathways and other resources that can help students and families learn more about each.
