The Colorado Workforce Development Council, in partnership with the Colorado Department of Higher Education and Colorado Community College System, launched two new career pathways in the My Colorado Journey career navigation and education platform.
Job seekers and students who are looking to explore or advance their Aerospace and Public Safety career will now have access to career pathways, trajectories and annual salaries, job descriptions, skills, education, training programs, and resources to successfully take their next steps toward a brighter professional future in one of Colorado’s in-demand industries.
The pathways aim to address increases in demand for aerospace and public safety professionals, strengthen continued career development, and nurture increased public awareness and interest.
The addition of the Aerospace and Public Safety pathways bring the total number of industries with published pathways to 15. All of these can be viewed in the Careers in Colorado section of My Colorado Journey. To map career steps and identify resources and tools, you must create a free, secure account to start.
