Career Pathways Certificates

Career Pathways Certificates benefits:

• Students who are looking for short-term training to advance in a specific career field.
• Students who want to find work in the field prior to completing a full two-year associate's degree.
• Students who need to take a break from their education to focus on other priorities.

Students who complete a Career Pathways Certificate:

• Earn a certificate/credential designed to lead to employment.
• Can continue on to get an Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degree without losing any credits, even if they need to take a break after finishing the career pathway certificate.
• Graduate with a certificate, which leads to better employment prospects.
• Show potential employers that they have met the education qualification of jobs they are seeking.

All Career Pathway Certificates are a part of a two-year Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degree and offer a stackable credential that you can receive while still completing your AAS or before pausing and coming back later to finish an AAS without losing any credits.
