Subject: CAREER PATHWAYS - Summary of Responses to a Request for Information
To: OFA-TANF@list.nih.gov
The Departments of Education (ED), Health and Human Services (HHS), and Labor (DOL) continue our exciting work together around career pathways - both systems building and programs. In April of 2014, we issued a joint Request for Information<https://www.federalregister.gov/articles/2014/04/23/2014-09274/request-for-information-on-adoption-of-career-pathways-approaches-for-the-delivery-of-education> (RFI) to get information and recommendations about career pathways from stakeholders in the public and private sectors.
We are thrilled that a diverse group of 141 respondents from across the nation commented. We got information about existing career pathways systems, roles and responsibilities of career pathways partners, connections to economic development strategies, how pathways systems are funded, how participant outcomes are measured, and how providers ensure that pathways stay current with labor market trends.
The interagency team has been reviewing and analyzing the responses and are happy to share this summary report with overarching themes from the RFI (insert hyperlink). The report includes facilitators and barriers to career pathway(s) development and implementation. It also includes promising practices and recommendations for what federal, state, tribal, and local agencies can do to support the successful development of career pathways systems. The report concludes with an overview of key opportunities to advance some of the major recommendations in light of recent developments such as the passage of the Workforce Investment Opportunity Act. Did you know that career pathways are referenced no fewer than 21 times in the new law? That's an exciting opportunity for our work in this area!
Please know that the information you shared with us will be used to inform technical assistance efforts, funding opportunities, policy discussions, and other activities to support the development of career pathways systems. So, stay tuned!
