Bridging the Gap:
Indiana Adult Career Pathways
• A framework that connects adult education
programs, occupational training programs, post
secondary institutions, and employers
– Each step prepares students for the next level of
work and education through contextualized learning
and concurrent training.
– Each credential in a pathway should build on the
previous credential so that students who earn them
are increasing both career and earning opportunities.
– Credentials are industry recognized and achieved
through the passage of a standardized skill
assessment
NCPN 10/13-14/11
Adult Career Pathways in Indiana
• Five industry sectors (career clusters) were
chosen
• Healthcare
• Information Technology
• Business Administration
