The New Career Pathways Checklist
About
The Career Pathways
Checklist, a new resource, has been added to the Literacy Information and
Communication System (LINCS). This checklist is designed as a work aid that
helps adult education and workforce program managers and administrators
determine the extent to which a newly developed or existing career pathways
program meets the requirements for career pathways in section (3)(7) of
WIOA.
What is this checklist for?
- This checklist is designed as a work aid to help determine the extent to which a newly developed or existing program meets the requirements for career pathways in section (3)(7) of WIOA.
Who is this checklist for?
- Planners and managers of career pathways programs
- Financial aid counselors and administrators responsible for administering the Ability to Benefit (AtB) provisions of the Higher Education Act (HEA), that allow a student who does not have a high school diploma (or its recognized equivalent) to be eligible for Title IV, HEA student assistance through one of the AtB alternatives if the student is enrolled in an “eligible career pathway program” that aligns to the statutory requirements in WIOA.
How should the checklist be used?
- Review each element (letters A–G) of the WIOA career pathway definition to ensure a program meets the required criteria.
- If the program meets a criterion, check the “Yes” box and describe the evidence demonstrating how the criterion is met.
- If the program does not meet a criterion, check the “No” box and describe what enhancements the program needs to make in order to meet the criterion.
