In 2025, CareerPathway.com reached a new level of scale and with that growth came something even more valuable: clarity and insight
Our 2025 Impact & Data Report looks beyond surface-level metrics to show how students, professionals, educators, businesses, and workforce partners are actively engaging with real opportunities on the platform. It captures a full year of activity and answers an important question: How are people actually navigating education and career pathways today?
The data reveals where interest is forming, which industries are attracting attention, how opportunities are being explored, and how geographic, age, and engagement patterns shape workforce readiness. More importantly, it highlights how connections between individuals and industry—can influence long-term outcomes.
One of the most meaningful takeaways from this year’s report is the balance between exploration and action. Students are discovering industries and pathways earlier. Adults are using the platform to transition, upskill, and connect with employers. Organizations are seeing increased visibility and engagement when they actively participate in the ecosystem.
These insights allow schools, employers, and workforce leaders to better align opportunities with real demand. Instead of guessing what students want or where talent is emerging, the data shows it in real time.
Workforce development doesn’t happen in silos. It requires shared visibility, consistent engagement, and tools that connect people to opportunity at the right moment.
As Bo Jones, CEO of CareerPathway.com, puts it:
“This data matters because it reflects real people making real decisions about their futures. When students, educators, and employers can see the same information and engage on the same platform, we move from disconnected efforts to a truly aligned workforce ecosystem.”
The impact captured in this report is not just a snapshot of growth but evidence that when access, awareness, and opportunity intersect, better outcomes follow.
The 2025 Impact & Data Report reinforces our commitment to transparency, collaboration, and data-informed decision-making. As we move into 2026, these insights will continue to guide platform enhancements, partnerships, and statewide initiatives that strengthen career pathways for learners and employers alike.
