Welcome Parents
Hello parents! We’re glad you are visiting the Mid-Willamette Education Consortium site that is just for you. Inside you will find lots of great information on how your son or daughter can earn college credit in high school, use Career Pathways as a tool for planning the future now, get involved in youth leadership programs, or find out what resources are available for “life after high school”. We hope you enjoy the site!
Welcome!
Now that you are here,
let’s get started on mapping out the
next steps on your
career pathway.

- Select a pathway template from the list below. Don’t be shy, you can choose
as many as you want. It’s all about what type of careers have captured your student's interest.
- Simply print out the templates you want, and then have your student take them to their school counselor, advisor, parent or guardian, etc. In fact, they can work on this with as many people as they ’d like!
- It’s all about them and the plan they want to make as they create their future!
- You’ll see areas of the template that the student gets to fill in as they decide what classes to take in high school. These classes are the ones that will prepare them for what they want to do when they graduate; and since they match what their interests are they’ll enjoy taking them!
