# Build a Pathway

In the process of creating a pathway, it is good to know which steps are available. Make sure to read through the [Toolbox: Types of Pathway Steps ](http://signify.screenstepslive.com/s/10619/m/91598/l/1153634-toolbox-types-of-pathway-steps)article and think about how these steps can be used in courses practically.

A practical example is that a business wants employees to complete an induction/orientation course. The HR Department wants to create and distribute the course via a pathway in Signify.

Follow these steps to create the course as a pathway.

In layman's terms, identify what the learner should do as part of the course.

Below is an example of a few items to include.

<div data-step-uuid="be1d17ed-984e-4c5d-ab3c-f820225d8a59" id="bkmrk-complete-and-pass-a-"><div>- Complete and pass a test.
- Upload a portfolio of evidence/supporting documentation.
- Download induction material.
- Accept the terms and conditions for the induction course.
- Download an Induction certificate at the end.

On a piece of paper write out the order of these items until they make sense.

Add additional items such as a course outcome list or if the employee should provide feedback on the course.

Below is an example of the Induction course content, rearranged in a logical order.

<div data-step-uuid="a6c345fc-e1ff-4e60-aa0a-815c03764ea5" id="bkmrk-course-outline.-acce"><div>1. Course Outline.
2. Accept the course Terms and Conditions.
3. Download the course material.
4. Upload a portfolio of evidence/supporting documentation.
5. Complete and pass the induction test.
6. Download the Induction certificate.
