Abstract	Most occupations projected to grow the fastest in the coming years will require postsecondary education and training. Of the 30 occupations with the most job growth projected between 2019 and 2029, 20 require at least some postsecondary education, including degrees and nondegree credentials. Millions of adults lack the postsecondary credentials needed to obtain many jobs in the current economy. Challenges to credential attainment include limited information about education and training options and their outcomes, expenses related to enrollment and persistence, and, for many students, the need to balance school with work responsibilities. This brief first summarizes the career pathways framework and associated evaluations. Then, using findings from these evaluations, it describes how programs that incorporate key features of the career pathways framework help their students persist and complete. Although not specific to working students, the strategies described can help students balance school and work. Data is used from three Administration for Children and Families-funded studies of programs adopting a career pathways framework. (ERIC).
