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 specialized careers contributing to green 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. The goal is to develop more next-generation practitioners who can drive climate-friendly innovation and growth in municipalities and regions.

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