NS4ed Designs a Customized Career Readiness Portal for National Rural Education Association

EntSun -- The Southwest Region of Tennessee, in conjunction with The National Rural Education Association (NREA) and the Tennessee Board of Regents, developed the Career Resource Network intending to strengthen economic development in rural communities within the region by improving education and workforce readiness. The Network is fully driven by NS4ed LLC's Pathway2Careers (P2C) flagship program.

NS4ed's P2C career readiness portal is a one-stop resource connecting administrators, teachers, students, and parents with career-related resources specific to their local geographic area. The portal provides access to labor market data within defined local counties to provide effective career resources and training opportunities to improve students' access to viable careers in their own communities, including those in the most rural areas of the state.

Work on the portal connects the efforts of the Tennessee School Board Association directly with those of NREA, which is dedicated to maintaining the vitality of rural school systems across the country. According to Dr. Allen Pratt, Executive Director of NREA and previously of the Tennessee Rural Education Association, "The work NS4ed is doing to make sure our students are linked with high-demand jobs in their own region is invaluable as a cornerstone of building reliable educational and career pathways that support the economic well-being of rural communities and families."

NS4ed's P2C offers Tennessee a critical bridge between education and industry that can help educators connect with the realities of their local job market. Extending beyond simple career awareness, P2C places considerable emphasis on understanding viable career destinations for students within their regions.
