What is the PATHS Project?
The PATHS Project provides academic and career focused postsecondary advising through the alignment of healthcare jobs, curriculum support, online resources, and expanded industry exposure for students, counselors, and teachers. The PATHS Project includes 8 districts in deep south Texas providing elementary, middle, and high school students, their families, and educators extensive support in gaining experiences and accessing health science information through conferences, work-based learning opportunities, cybermentoring, and the pathscentral website.
