What are Career Clusters?

• Career clusters represent broad grouping of occupations and industries based on–Common knowledge and skills–Pathways–Programs of Study–Plan of Study

Career Clusters (con’t)

• Career Clusters as a tool for a seamless educational system:–Blends rigorous academic/technical

prep–Provides career planning–Offers options for students to

experience all aspects of an industry–Facilitates/assists students with

transitions

The 16 Career Clusters represent the entire world of work….

• National Career clusters framework consist of 16 clusters and 81 defined pathways.

The “extra” degree-Student Credentialing

At 211 degrees, water is hot. At 212 degrees, it boils. And with boiling water, comes steam.

Rigor, Relevance and the Future of CTE U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan April 19, 2011At a time when local, state, and federal governments are facing tremendous budget pressure, CTE advocates must make a compelling case for continued funding. To accomplish these things, the mission of CTE will have to change. It can no longer simply be about earning a diploma and landing a job after high school. The goal of CTE 2.0 should be that students earn a postsecondary credential or an industry-recognized certification – and land a job that leads to a successful career.
