In workforce development and career pathways, something BIG is happening in Connecticut—and we’re right at the center of it. As the backbone organization supporting Governor Lamont’s newly established Connecticut Career Pathways Commission, chaired by Miguel Cardona, we’re convening more than three dozen leaders across education, business, labor, government, and workforce development to build a truly unified statewide system. Together, we’re aligning education and workforce systems, strengthening connections between training and employment, and creating clearer pathways that help more Connecticut residents access high-quality education, skills training, and meaningful careers.
