Exploring Career Pathways

Introduction to choosing a Career Pathway is a way to help clarify goals, provide purpose and relevance to your elective course selections, and prepare you to succeed in post high school education and in the workplace.

Career Pathways are sequences of Timpview courses that prepare students for further study in specific career fields. Students may earn a Certificate of Completion in five career clusters. Most career pathways involve advanced coursework – in some cases for college credit – as well as extended learning opportunities including internships.

For students who have an interest in a particular career area, completing a certificate in a Career Pathway will ensure that he or she is adequately preparing for the future. For students who are not sure what they are interested in doing after high school, pathways provide them with information to help them explore potential career interests and give more meaning to high school coursework.
