Colorado Department of Labor and Employment

Their goal with Pathful

The Colorado Department of Labor and Employment

(CDLE) aspires to advance economic opportunities for

all Coloradans. Committed to developing and nurturing

the state’s workforce, the agency wants all residents to

have access to the education and training necessary to

keep Colorado thriving. Pathful was the perfect fit to

help the CDLE reach these goals.

How we found success

The partnership between Pathful’s CSM and the CDLE

Team’s points of contact opened the door to

collaboration with other departments across the state

including the Division of Vocational Rehab, Connecting

Colorado, the Department of Education, and the

Department of Corrections. These partnerships led to

an efficient and effective implementation of Pathful

across the CDLE’s many branches, providing

Coloradans of all ages access to career evaluation,

education and training.

Impact

Pathful has extended the reach of Workforce

Development Programs across the state, serving over

19,500 individuals of all ages, including those in rural

and underserved areas. Pathful has transformed how

the CDLE’s Workforce Development Programs help

Coloradans remain competitive and future-ready in a

fast-changing climate. Clients are able to dive deep

and explore a potential career’s education

requirements, payscale, and future outlook. To take it a

step further, clients can consult current, integrated

labor market information not just by career, but by

location.
