Pathways
Three pathways, aligned in all 50 states
MICE maintains aligned program standards and competencies for CTE programs in each of these pathways, in every state — plus Career Ready Practices and industry certification alignment. You should not have to rebuild your crosswalk because you crossed a state line.
Pathway 01
IT & Cybersecurity
Support, networking, security, and programming — from a student’s first login through to an analyst’s toolkit. A genuine prerequisite ladder, shown above.
Pathway 02
Media Design
Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign, taught as the working tools of digital and multimedia design rather than as a tour of menus — and toward a certification, not just a portfolio.
Pathway 03
Business Administration
Office Pro, then Word and Excel at Expert level — the documents and spreadsheets every employer assumes a graduate can already produce.
Certification exams and vouchers are not included with any option.
