How were Mississippi Career Pathways developed? Who were the members of the Advisory Committee from which the Career Pathways originated?
The national organization for state vocational directors developed 16 Career Clusters based on national economic needs and asked state directors to customize state clusters based on specific needs in the state. Specific pathways have been developed based on job demand and aligned with career information in the Occupational Outlook Handbook (http://www.bls.gov/oco/). Also, the Department of Labor information for Mississippi (researched by the Institutions for Higher Learning Research Center) was used to develop the seven MS Career Pathways. Twenty-eight jobs were found to have the most potential growth in the state in the next five years. Industry members, superintendents, principals, community college personnel, and former state board members were consulted during the original development of the Mississippi Career Pathways.
