A career pathway is the route by which a person reaches their chosen career goals. Any career destination can be reached by many different pathways; every person chooses a unique career pathway.

The different steps along a career pathway may involve training, volunteering, doing entry-level work, undertaking further study, job transition, job advancement and so on.

When you research your own career, speak to people who are working in the area you’d like to work in. Ask them how they reached the point they’re at today. Speak to as many different people as you can; you’ll discover just how broad the variety of career paths within a single occupation can be.
