Today's Focus: Career Clusters 

• • Today, we are focusing in on Career Readiness.  

  • A part of career readiness is identifying a career cluster of interest! 

  • Career Clusters are groups of careers that share common themes or require similar skills.  

  • All existing careers in our workforce fall into one of the 16 Career Clusters .  

Let's Do It! Career Cluster Survey

• • Today, we will be completing a career cluster survey through a resource called Education Planner.  

  • Please click Career Cluster Survey  to access this online survey.

  • Select Start Now to begin this survey.

  • Four short sections of this survey include:   Who You Are...   What You Like...     What Your Good At....   Your Best School Subjects 

  • Please spend the next 5-10 minutes completing this survey.

Reviewing Your Results!

• • Homeroom teachers, please pass out Career Cluster Activity Sheet for students to record their responses.

  • After students complete the survey, a results window will appear.

  • Career Clusters will be ordered/listed by best match, based on results from this survey.  

  • While keeping your results window on the screen, click on a cluster by opening it in a new window.

  • You now will see a list of careers that fall under this cluster that might be worth exploring!

  • Spend some time searching these clusters and careers under each cluster to learn more about opportunities for you!

  • Ask yourself: Do I agree with the Career Clusters matched to me from  this survey?  Why or why not?

  • Please place your completed Activity Sheet in your Resource Folder (located in your teacher's homeroom crate).
