Gwinnett County Public Schools

Their goal with Pathful

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.
