Career Pathway Resources
A career cluster is a group of jobs and industries that are related by skills or products. Within each cluster, there are cluster “pathways” that correspond to a collection of courses and training opportunities to prepare you for a given career.
The 16 clusters were established at the national level by the States' Career Clusters Initiative and are recognizable across the United States in middle schools, high schools, community and technical colleges, and the workforce.
Each cluster has a page on this site and each contains information on careers, affiliated student leadership organizations, education and training options and other related student resources.
