Wilson Career Pathways Project Mission

Partner with commercial, community-based, and infrastructure professionals to design career pathways so that youth and young adults can explore innovative, highly technical careers contributing to municipal and regional economic development initiatives. Additionally, create supplemental workforce development learning materials that introduce trade students how to apply their advanced credentials to produce and sustain community growth as future practitioners.

Furthermore, WCPP will advise career pathway partners through collaborations with policy makers to secure approval and funding for these projects.
