Career Clusters & Career Pathways
Career Clusters are broad occupational groupings based on a set of common knowledge and skills, while Career Pathways are a sub-grouping of occupations and career specialties. Similar to the way Career Clusters are organized, Career Pathways are also grouped based on their requirements for a set of common knowledge and skills for career success.
