Creating Meaningful Health Career Pathways: A Perkins-Aligned Framework
Thursday September 17, 2026 3:30pm - 4:15pm EDT
Regency EF
Designing a meaningful, Perkins-aligned health career pathway can be complex.  In this session, postsecondary CTE leaders, counselors, and health program faculty will explore a proven model for connecting secondary CTE health programs with postsecondary health programs, guiding students from interest to informed decision-making.  


Participants will engage with a structured framework that integrates campus engagement, dual enrollment, career exploration, admissions preparation, credential awareness, and selective program readiness into a cohesive pathway.  Through guided reflection and discussion, attendees will identify opportunities to adapt the model within their own institutions.


Participants will gain practical tools, sample timelines, and strategies for measuring impact, as well as approaches for fostering collaboration across departments and institutions.
