Minnesota and The Alliance for Quality Career Pathways
ABE Summer Institute7/22/2013
Recent Federal Support for [Adult] Career Pathways
• Grantso Health Profession Opportunity Grants (HHS, 2010)o Workforce Innovation Fund and TAACCCT (round II) grants (DOL, summer/fall 2012)o Advancing Career and Technical Education in State and Local Career Pathway Systems
(OVAE, 2012)
• Guidance and TAo Federal Career Pathways Institute (DOL and ED, 2010-2011)o Joint letter of commitment to promote use of career pathways (DOL, ED, and HHS, April
2012)
• Evaluationo ISIS evaluation of career pathway programs (HHS, launched in late 2007; 10 year initiative)
• Looking forwardo Spring 2013: WIF “Pay for Success” modelo Rounds III and IV of TAACCCT o $8b Community College to Career Fund in the President’s FY14 budgeto $12.5b Pathways Back to Work in the President’s FY14 budgeto All indications are that the federal government will continue to support and promote
career pathways
State and Foundation Support for Career Pathways
• ~17 have explored or adopted career pathways for educationally underprepared adults and youth: AR, CA, IL, IN, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, MN, NC,OH, OR, PA, VA, WA and WI
• Several states have explored or adopted career pathways for high school-to-college
• Major national initiatives including:o Ford Bridges to Opportunityo NGA Pathways to Advancemento Breaking Througho Shifting Gearso Accelerating Opportunity

The Alliance for Quality Career Pathways• National initiative funded by the Joyce Foundation and the James
Irvine Foundation; CLASP is the lead and facilitator• The goal of AQCP is to identify a framework that defines high-
quality career pathway systems • 10 Alliance States: AR, CA, IL, KY, MA, MN, OR, VA, WA, WI, • National Advisory Group of ~15 national organizations and experts
including NYEC, JFF, NSC, CORD, CEWD, Working Poor Families Project, Abt Associates, ConnectEd, and adult education and CTE state directors.
• The final product will be a customizable framework of criteria, indicators, metrics and a self-assessment tool that can be used to
Enhance the quality of existing career pathway efforts Develop high-quality new career pathway efforts; and Inform evaluation(s) of career pathway efforts.

Working Definition of “Career Pathways”
Career Pathways: An approach to connecting progressive levels of basic skills and postsecondary education, training, and support services in specific sectors or occupations in a way that optimizes the progress and success of individuals – including those with limited skills and experiences – in securing marketable credentials, family-supporting employment, and further education and employment opportunities.
[Add: In our state, career pathways include…]

Career Pathway Metric Goals• Allow career pathway systems to measure key results and
communicate these results to stakeholders• Capture milestones that are not captured by current
performance reporting requirements;• Support continuous improvement of pathway programs and
systems;• Provide a basis for a shared performance accountability
framework across multiple fund sources, • Are a “common language” across a variety of basic skills,
workforce, and postsecondary programs

What metrics should be used? Alliance Convening Working Session Results
Consensus:Pathway education and training outcomes
Labor market outcomes Interim education and training outcomes
• Pathway license, industry certification or apprenticeship certificate attainment
• Pathway certificate attainment
• Pathway Associate degree attainment or transfer to a 2 or 4 year institution
• Initial employment retention
• Initial earnings
• High school equivalency or high school diploma attainment
• College-level pathway course completion

How can we measure career pathway results?
Alliance states have a series of choices to make about how career pathway metrics would be applied:
Who is “on a career pathway?” How can we determine when someone has entered or
exited a career pathway? How can we determine which metrics are appropriate for a
specific career pathway, or program in a pathway? Do career pathways work better than non-career pathway
programs?
14
Next Steps for career pathway metrics
• A beta framework will be field tested from July – December 2013
• Final work will be completed in 2014 after Alliance states have tested the appropriateness and usefulness of the criteria, indicators, and metrics.
