Explore Your Future: New Career Pathways Flyers Released!

Erie Together is excited to share the completion of our five Career Pathways Flyers, a resource created to support the Erie County Career Pathways Alliance’s ongoing career exploration efforts.

Each flyer is grounded in regional and statewide data, highlighting both “high priority occupations” based on local, regional data and “in-demand occupations” based on statewide data. That means the information reflects what’s actually happening in our local job market as well as broader trends across Pennsylvania, giving readers a well-rounded picture of where the opportunities are.

Whether you’re a student exploring options, a parent or caregiver helping guide that exploration, or an adult job seeker considering a career change, these flyers are designed with you in mind. Each one breaks down:

  • The education and training levels required for various careers

  • Average entry-level earning potential

  • Links to additional resources for career exploration, education, and training options

In short, the flyers help students, families, and job seekers make more informed decisions about the future - whether that means choosing a course of study, picking a training program, or mapping out a first career move.

The flyers are organized by pathway and industry cluster, so readers can dig into the fields that interest them most:

  1. Engineering & Industrial Technology

  2. Science & Health

  3. Business, Finance & Information Technology

  4. Human Services

  5. Arts & Communication

Together, these five flyers span 14 industry clusters, giving Erie County a comprehensive, easy-to-use snapshot of the local and statewide career landscape.

These flyers are just one piece of the broader work of the Erie County Career Pathways Alliance (ECCPA), which Erie Together convenes and includes local school districts, employers, career and technical centers, NWPA Job Connect, Northwest Tri-County IU #5, local colleges and universities, Career Street, NWIRC, the Corry Hi-Ed Council, GECAC and more. Together, we’re opening doors and creating new opportunities for students to explore careers and prepare for their future!
