STEM路径为学生提供了更多的机会来探索和准备在新的和新兴的STEM领域成功的职业生涯。为了打破K12和高等教育之间现有的孤岛，以社区大学为中心的课程充当了高中、大学和就业之间的通道。名为亚利桑那州STEM网络的在线社交协作系统实现了丰富的协作和共享学生教育的所有权，其结果吸引了当地行业合作伙伴。STEM路径指南托管在亚利桑那州STEM网络上，提供了一个全面的工具来设计、实施和验证STEM路径计划、衡量计划有效性并分享最佳实践。从SFAz开发的其他四个STEM指南中学习的内容为STEM路径指南的结构和内容提供了信息。《路径指南》是基于一个经过研究验证的模型。该模型有七个主要组成部分。学院拥有的部分包括教育拓展和职业探索，基础知识和技能，以及可转让的证书和学位。相互依存的组成部分包括学生支持战略、行业参与、技术整合和课程调整。目前，亚利桑那州的8所农村社区学院和加利福尼亚州、德克萨斯州、佛罗里达州、亚利桑那州和新墨西哥州的11所拉美裔服务社区学院(HSCC)正在参与在线社区，并使用STEM路径指南。
STEM Pathways offer students additional opportunities to explore and prepare for successful careers in new and emerging STEM fields. To breakdown existing silos between K12 and higher education, community college-centered programs function as conduits between high schools, universities and jobs. An online social collaboration system called the Arizona STEM Network enables rich collaboration and shared ownership of the students' education with results that attract local industry partners. The STEM Pathways Guide, hosted on the Arizona STEM Network, provides a comprehensive tool to design, implement, and validate STEM Pathway Programs, measure program effectiveness and share best practices. Learning's from four other STEM Guides developed by SFAz informed the structuring and content of the STEM Pathways Guide. The Pathways Guide is based on a model validated by research. The model has seven primary components. College owned components include Education Outreach and Career Exploration, Foundational Knowledge and Skills, and Transferable Certifications and Degrees. Interdependency components include Student Support Strategies, Industry Engagement, Technology Integration, and Curricular Alignment. Currently, eight rural community colleges in Arizona and eleven Hispanic Serving Community Colleges (HSCCs) in California, Texas, Florida, Arizona, and New Mexico are participating in the online community and using the STEM Pathways Guide.
