Eastern's Career Pathways Program

High Paying, In-Demand Careers in Connecticut

Program Goals

Eastern's Career Pathways Program brings together classroom and experiential learning opportunities to prepare students for work in the public and private sectors. These pathways will allow Eastern students to gain firsthand experience in in-demand jobs and expand their professional networks, while developing the skills that federal, state, municipal, and private employers say are most needed.
