Career Cluster Descriptions
Career Cluster Model
• Career Clusters provide a way to organize careers
related to your interests.
• Research shows that even though most people
change careers many times throughout their life,
they typically stay within the same cluster.
• Knowing your top career clusters will help you
create a roadmap or “Plan of Study” to help you
achieve your college and career goals.
