DoED Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education FIPSE: Career and Educational Pathways Exploration System Program
Federal Register: https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2020-11-09/html/2020-24814.htm
The purpose of the Career Pathways Program funded through FIPSE is to develop technology-based or technology- enabled career exploration systems that enable high school students to identify and explore career opportunities that align with their interests, ambitions, and aptitudes; learn from individuals who work in those fields about the nature of their work and opportunities available in their fields; and identify education and training options--including non-college programs such as work-based learning opportunities, military training, apprenticeships, and employer-sponsored training-- that enable entry into or advancement in those careers. Career and education pathways exploration systems must include, for featured occupations, information about employment outlook and likely entry and mid-career earnings in featured fields, and they must enable students to use built-in financial analysis tools to explore the economic impact of their career, education, and training choices.
