SANFORD - A team from Central Carolina Community College recently attended the two-day Equitable Guided Career Pathways Retreat sponsored by the North Carolina Student Success Center. Dr. Rob Johnstone, Founder and President of the National Center for Inquiry & Improvement (NCII), was the presenter.

At the event, the team learned more about integrating equitable guided career pathways and strategic planning, identifying key equity gaps with the goal of establishing a set of college-specific barriers, using a design and implementation framework, and reflecting on regional occupational/living wage data in our service areas. The team also planned next steps in implementing guided career pathways at scale.
