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.
