The Lincoln Partnership for Economic Development (LPED) and CareerPathway.com (careerpathway.com) have begun an exciting partnership to share career readiness resources and help businesses, students and job seekers connect in new ways.
“CareerPathway.com was built to help students and job seekers find their path to a rewarding career, to help colleges fill classrooms and to help businesses find talent,” says Bo Jones, CEO and Founder of CareerPathway.com. “This partnership with the community leaders of Lincoln is a huge step toward a workforce outcome where everybody wins.”
Through this partnership with LPED, the CareerPathway.com platform will expand to include industry-level and business specific career pathways and additional career readiness resources.
“Through cultivating a talent pipeline and working closely with our local partners, resources such as CareerPathway.com are crucial to developing a workforce that meets the needs of our community and aligns with the goals of our Vitality Lincoln Strategic Plan,” says Luke Peltz, Vice President for the Lincoln Partnership for Economic Development.
The City of Lincoln allocated funding for the partnership between LPED and CareerPathway.com through the City’s American Rescue Plan Act Workforce Development training grant. Since ARPA funds were made available in 2021, the City has allocated $13.5 million for workforce development.
Other entities already involved with CareerPathway.com include Lincoln Public Schools, Southeast Community College, American Job Center of Lancaster and Saunders Counties and numerous local businesses that are poised to benefit from CareerPathway.com, including Bison, Inc.
