This NOVA Research Company website provides resources for both adult educators and employers to introduce them to the mutual benefits of collaborating to create career pathways for adult learners. The site offers success stories, vignettes, best practices, and lessons learned about successful collaborations from the perspective of both educators and employers. There are also downloadable resources and tools for developing career pathways partnerships.

This guide presents concrete examples and models of mutually beneficial collaborations between community colleges and local employers that ultimately serve to help students progress along their education and career pathways.  While the examples and lessons learned are drawn from community college systems, they are relevant to all practitioners in workforce, career and technical education, and adult education.
