How do I print my Career Pathway report?

The career pathway relates to a professional’s training hours, education, and work experience to a career lattice position. From entry-level to level 9, it will calculate a user’s expertise in the early childhood field.

As an early childhood professional, you can advance the career pathway levels by gaining more professional experience or obtaining additional education credentials, such as a child development associate (CDA) credential or a bachelor’s degree. You may use the career lattice pathway to guide your professional development and growth in the future, as well as assist with marketing yourselves to employers and parents.
