Gwinnett County Public Schools

aimed to achieve several

objectives through Pathful:

fostering engaging programs and

courses that illuminate diverse

pathways to students' futures,

redefining the essence of CTE

education for all stakeholders, and

enhancing students' preparedness

to navigate their career decisions

confidently.

How we found success:

GCPS realized the time and follow-

through needed to make a district

wide implementation successful. They

have worked closely with their

Customer Success Manager to

schedule in-depth trainings that allow

teachers to dive deep into Pathful’s

resources and make plans for how to

use the tools in their classrooms.

Impact:

Speaking on the impact of Pathful, Dr.

Kyle Jones, the Director of Academies

and CTE for GCPS said “ Especially

when you talk about it from the lens

of an individual teacher, [Pathful]

really helped an individual teacher

feel like they had a tool that helped

students explore career interests and

start conversations around careers. It

gave [teachers] some points of

reference that they didn’t have prior,

which I think is incredibly valuable.”

He went on to note how it has

positively impacted his counseling

staff, and how it is changing the

perception of Career and Technical

Education in Gwinnett County as a

whole.

How they use Pathful:

GCPS has incorporated Pathful into

not only CTE courses and advisory

programs, but also offers the

platform to all middle and high

school students. This enhanced

accessibility has not only boosted

platform usage among students

eager to explore career options but

has also garnered interest from

teachers utilizing the Employability

Skills Library to impart soft skills or

integrate career education

components into their lessons.
