What are Delaware Pathways?
Acquiring both academic and technical skills in combination with meaningful work experience gives students the freedom to choose their life’s path.
Delaware Pathways link education and workforce development efforts for youth and provide opportunities for youth to gain work experiences aligned with their career goals through a series of high-quality education programs that link to postsecondary education and careers. Programs and supports are available across Delaware’s local education agencies and a statewide workforce intermediary.
