This site has been developed with the intention of providing students, parents and educators an overview of the Career Pathways Program. The Career Pathways program is a guide for middle school students and is intended to help them determine the best educational pathway to best attain their future career goals. In the near future, students will begin the Career Pathways program within their classrooms. They will receive a Middle School planner and be offered tours of Lehigh Career & Technical Institute, the technical career school located in Schnecksville and they will also have the opportunity to explore a wide variety of careers through guest speakers and assemblies. Please take a few moments now to explore this site and begin the journey to a great career pathway choice.



Students Design Career Cluster Posters

Career education students at Southern Lehigh High School recently lent their artistic talents to designing career cluster posters for the county middle schools. Students were asked to design posters highlighting job titles within a specific Career Pathways cluster. These are a sampling of the outstanding designs we received.

As part of the continuing efforts of the Marketing Committee to promote our Career Pathways initiative, a series of other career cluster posters will be distributed to all county middle schools this fall. If your school is interested in obtaining copies of these posters, please contact Cathy Groller, committee co-chair at 610-769-4111.
