Roadmap to Opportunity Webinar Series
During the month of May, MCAN will be hosting a four-part Roadmap to Opportunity webinar series. Webinars will focus on the following topics:
  • The importance of high school and community college partnerships,
  • Preparing students for stackable credential pathways,
  • Supporting students to and through stackable credential programs, and
  • Empowering professionals to map out credential pathways within their own communities.
The webinar series begins May 4. Sessions will be hosted by experts familiar with K-12 and postsecondary community partnerships, stackable credential and career pathway programs, as well as leaders in the field of college access. 

​Each webinar may be eligible for one SCECH in career exploration. SCECHs also can be earned by viewing webinar recordings, which will be available after webinar completion, through the end of August. Upon viewing a recording, successful completion of the accompanying SCECH quiz is required.
