The Interest Profiler* is a self-assessment tool designed to help you identify what your interests are and translate these interests into occupations that best fit you. The following two pages include a list of 60 questions about work activities that some people perform in their jobs. By answering questions that represent important Interest Areas, the results from the Interest Profiler will help you discover your strong work-related interests and match them to careers.
Career clusters are groups of occupations in the same field of work that require similar skills. Each cluster contains several smaller groups called career pathways that connect to educational programs, industries, and careers. While a career cluster paints a broad picture of a group of occupations, a pathway helps you focus on and develop a clear, more informed educational plan over time. The structure of the National Career Clusters Framework of 16 career clusters and 73 related career pathways supports your growing career awareness and exploration.
