Career and Technical Education (CTE) Career Clusters
Defining the Career Clusters: • A Career Cluster is a grouping of occupations and broad industries based on
commonalities. • Expectations at the Career Cluster level represent the skills and knowledge, both
academic and technical, that all students within the Career Cluster should achieve regardless of their pathway.
• Expectations at the pathway level represent the skills and knowledge, both academic and technical, necessary to pursue a full range of career opportunities within a pathway— ranging from entry level to management, including technical and professional career specialties.
