Career Pathways Grant Program

Arkansas Career Pathways Initiative is a program that enables your local two-year college to offer those who qualify free career training and college classes. But that's not all. In addition to free training and college classes, the Pathways program may be able to help overcome the barriers that have kept you from getting the training and education you need. Read here for more information about benefits and eligibility.

Career Pathways participants will have access to:

• Advising to assist with career and educational decisions
