Career Clusters

Below are the South Dakota Career Clusters. A career cluster is a grouping of occupations on common knowledge and skills. Each cluster framework has an established pathway and specialties including both technical and professional occupations. There are recommendations of elective courses in each section which connect to each of these career clusters.

You can find more information on each cluster at http://doe.sd.gov/topics.aspx under “Career Clusters/Programs of Study.” Select Career Clusters that interest you and view the cluster framework and sequence of courses.
