FY2025 Innovation Career Pathways Part A Application - Due October 2024

Applicant and Partner Information

Dear colleague,

Thank you for your interest in Innovation Career Pathways, and welcome to the 2024-2025 designation cycle! This is the official application for Part A, which is due by 5:00PM on October 24, 2024. Each question must be answered to be able to submit. If you are applying for multiple pathways, you will need to complete an application for each pathway.

Applicants who are successful at Part A will be invited to submit Part B applications. Between mid-November 2024 through January 2025, the Innovation Career Pathways team and DESE CCTE Liaisons will offer support as qualified applicants prepare materials for submission by February 6, 2025. In terms of formal assistance offerings, there will be a Part B Application Workshop on Tuesday, December 3 and a Designing for Equity Workshop on Wednesday, December 18, 2024. Please plan for your team to participate in both sessions. Part B submissions will be reviewed in February. Designations will be conferred by the DESE Commissioner before the end of March 2025.

Best of luck with the process, and please be in touch with any questions. 

Jennifer Gwatkin, for the Massachusetts Innovation Career Pathways Team
