REGIONALISM AND CERTIFIED
CAREER PATHWAYS
SCOTT PANAGROSSO
SO WHY REGIONALISM?
• Gets us out of our lanes
• Forces us to look beyond normal boundaries
• Exposure to new ideas and thoughts
• Opportunity for best practices to be shared
• Leverages resources for common goals
• Just makes sense!

NCWorks Certified Career
Pathways Are Not:
• Designed for one employer
• Single city or single county
•
•
•
•
Centered around one job
Only for high school and young adult workers
A replacement for existing pathway models
Developed by educators without employer
input
SO WHAT IS A REGION?
• Regions for certified pathways may align with
prosperity zones, workforce development board regions
or some other network of counties and communities
• Regions may be constituted of surrounding counties or
counties that share workforce need and subsequent
workforce response
• NCWorks best practices anticipate that regions will
extend beyond single counties or large cities providing
services over a broader, more cohesive area
******** LOCAL DECISION ********
How do I define it?
HOW MANY WAYS CAN YOU SLICE IT?
By Prosperity Zone?
By CTE Region?
BY NC’S 23 WORKFORCE BOARDS?
