Career Pathways

Ever get stumped on the simple matter of how to get from here to there? Or, in career terms, how to get into a career and advance to the next level and the one after that?
Career Pathways can help you navigate that maze. You can see at a glance the knowledge, skills, education, and other qualities you'll need to get into a career and the additional steps it will take to get promoted. But note that these aren't the only pathways: You can become an industrial engineer by starting out as a manufacturing technician, as mapped out in the pathway here — but if you're able to stay in school you may be able to move into industrial engineering directly.
