Work Ethic Diploma

The vision of Pathways to Prosperity of Southeast Tennessee is to advance seamless career pathways for all students.  Our mission is to develop a skilled and educated workforce by collaboratively engaging students to pursue career pathways aligned with labor market needs.

Today’s workforce requires technological capabilities, math skills and problem-solving techniques whether a student chooses to begin a career or pursue a college/technical degree after high school.  While having the skills and qualifications necessary for today’s job market is critical in securing a lasting career, possessing work ethic skills is just as important to employers.

The Work Ethic Diploma was developed as a way for industry leaders, students and educators to work together in making professional skills a focused matter in our local communities.  Participating students will have an opportunity to exemplify their knowledge of work ethic standards to employers, preparing them for rapid entry into the workforce.
