Abstract	"Career Pathways in Action", a companion to "Learning for Careers" by Nancy Hoffman and Robert B. Schwartz, offers a detailed, on-the-ground exploration of the Pathways to Prosperity Network's efforts at state, regional, and local levels. This new book describes a strikingly wide range of systems and efforts that the Pathways Network has helped establish in recent years, and provides a clear and detailed sense of promising ways forward. Editors Robert B. Schwartz and Amy Loyd include case studies of five different Pathways programs from different regions of the United States: Delaware, Tennessee, the Great Lakes, the rural Central Valley of California, and Marlborough, Massachusetts. The cases illustrate efforts to scale up strategic partnerships; balance state policies with particular regional needs and circumstances; ensure postsecondary success; create continuities between high schools, colleges, and workplaces; and build a STEM early college. While the programs vary significantly from one another, all of these efforts involve cooperation between political, business, and educational institutions. As such, the portraits in this volume provide fascinating, practical models for the sorts of partnerships that can best serve both young people and the industries in which they hope to find rewarding work. Titles in the book include: (1) Getting to Scale Through Strategic Partnerships: Delaware Pathways (Robert Rothman); (2) Balancing Bold State Policy and Regional Flexibility: Pathways Tennessee (Richard Kazis); (3) Developing Equitable Pathways Systems to Ensure Postsecondary Success: The Great Lakes College and Career Pathways Partnership (Michael Grady with Kyle Hartung) (4) Breaking Down Walls Between High School, College, and the Workplace: Wonderful Agriculture Career Prep (Thad Nodine); and (5) Building a STEM Early College: Marlborough High School and Its College and Industry Partners (Katie Bayerl with Anna O'Connor).
