Educators need more flexible career paths and education options because traditional one-size-fits-all approaches and requiring one degree for one job are outdated given that people change careers multiple times and jobs now demand transferable skills. The traditional educational path was designed for life-long careers but most people's actual career paths are now more cyclical. Quality people can be trained for positions beyond just their degree and education is too slow to change to meet the needs of 21st century jobs.

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.
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
Feel Expecting most of todays learners to follow the same path is narrow minded Learning and job experiences should be synchronous
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.
