Use Case

The Buffalo Niagara Partnership wished to promote life sustaining career pathways to opportunity youth (young professionals ages 16-24 that did not complete high school). The partnership consists of training providers, local employers, non-profit service providers, and a local workforce board. This collaborative used PathBuilder to identify local career pathways not visible to opportunity youth and clearly show entry points to these pathways that do not require a college degree.  Twenty pathways were developed and shared on a configurable Career Futures platform, also developed and hosted by Vantage Point. The interactive pathways connect youth to local training programs, internships, career coaches, and local resources, including GED completion programs, food banks, and housing resources.
