Cluster Groupings
are very broad categories which help guide learners toward clusters that match their personal interests,
sense of purpose, and the positive impact they want to make on their communities.
Career Clusters
are smaller groupings of occupations used as an organizing tool for curriculum design and instruction.
This approach helps students understand the relevance of their coursework and provides a clear framework for selecting electives that support their career goals.
Career Pathways
are sub-groupings of occupations within a Career Cluster used as an organizing tool for curriculum design and instruction.
Occupations are grouped into career pathways based on the set of common knowledge and skills required for career success.
