Welcome to
Pathways to Technology, a multimedia project highlighting technology degree programs at community colleges. The
Pathways to Technology Web site, video series, recruitment toolkit, and outreach initiative are designed for prospective students, returning students, parents, guidance counselors, and community college educators.
Whether you're in high school and thinking about what's next, returning to school, or looking for ways to get the word out about good degree programs,
Pathways to Technology is your route to information.
What's on this site?
Seven videos capture technology fields, current students, professors, and successful graduates from community colleges across the country. All of the videos, totaling more than 90 minutes, are available for viewing on this Web site. See the
Videos page for a complete list and links, or watch the videos in short segments throughout the site.
Looking for ways to shine a spotlight on your technology programs? The
Recruitment Toolkit contains multimedia resources — video, activities, and customizable print pieces — that colleges can use to enhance ongoing recruitment efforts. You'll find sample agendas, planning and publicity tips, and suggestions for using
Pathways resources at open houses, technology forums, and information tables.
