Educators need more flexible career paths and education options because traditional one-size-fits-all approaches are outdated. People no longer stay in the same career for life but instead move between jobs cyclically. 21st century jobs demand transferable skills that can be acquired outside of traditional education. Educators must offer various paths toward employment synchronized with learning and job experiences to accommodate the many different and evolving careers people will have throughout their working lives.

- 2. Say One-size-fits-all approaches are never good. One degree for one job is no longer realistic. There seems to be more emphasis on credentials than skills and strengths. Our traditional path was designed for life-long careers. The actual path most people take now is much more cyclical. We need to change.
- 3. Think We need more/other options for paths to careers Education is too slow to change Quality people can be trained in any position People dont stay in the same career for life 21st century jobs demand transferable skills
- 4. Feel Expecting most of todays learners to follow the same path is narrow minded Learning and job experiences should be synchronous
- 5. Need Statement Educators need a way to offer various paths toward employment because learners are preparing for many different and new careers throughout their employment years.
