“The Career Pathways Portal allows users to identify careers and pathways that fit their specific goals, abilities, and circumstances,” said Dr. Byron Clayton, CSTB Chief of Sector Partnerships. “Too many people have selected the right career but the wrong pathway, resulting in unfinished training, unnecessary debt, and underemployment. The portal can help people choose the right pathway, significantly increasing their chances to succeed.”
The Career Pathways Portal provides information about local careers, such as entry-to-expert-level salaries, job demand, diversity make-up, top posting companies and industries in Hillsborough County, and more. Users can even generate a personal Career Advancement Plan that lists their career and training selections of interest with contact information for follow-up.
