“Career Pathways as a Systemic Framework: A Call to Action” at the NCWE conference in Albuquerque, New Mexico in October 2006. Several responses from NCWE members and further discussion about the report focused on the question: What would a community college that fully implemented Career Pathways look like? To get a practitioner’s perspective on this question, a session was held at the NCWE conference in October 2007. This report reflects the results of the facilitated session “Envisioning the Future: Career Pathways Fully Implemented in the Community College.” The report is also designed as a sequel to the “Career Pathways as a Systemic Framework: A Call to Action.”
