Career Pathways System
Core Elements
• Contextualized instruction that integrates basic reading, math, and
language skills and industry/occupation knowledge.
• Career development that includes career exploration, career
planning within a career area, and understanding the world of work
(specific elements depend upon the level of the bridge program and
whether participants are already incumbent workers in the specific
field).

assistance they need to successfully navigate the process of moving
from adult education or remedial coursework to credit occupational
programs.

recitation/support class

program; GED & MSSC testing waivers

Policy Considerations
Local policy changes
• Reorganized AETP under Academic Affairs Instruction
better linkages between AETP and academic policies,
procedures, and strategic planning;
• IwNC changed to affiliate wNC when IDES left
decreased by half the number of adults seeking job
training and seeking services;
• CTE adjunct load limits from ACA and SURS
retirement-requires hiring more qualified adjuncts to
cover CTE manufacturing courses;
• New HR hiring processes- delayed A.E. Instructor hire.
