Need Help Finding a Career or College Major?
Let's start with Career Clusters:
Career clusters are groups of related types of work. They give you an easy way to explore different kinds of jobs within one broad category. Start with one of the clusters—like health care or construction—to learn what it involves, current trends, and the different careers it offers.
Choosing the best career path is an important decision that involves your skills, educational background and interests. Identifying with a cluster can help you build your career and choose credentials—such as a college degree, specialized training, or certifications—that will qualify you for a variety of different, but related, jobs.
college and career center.pdfWhat is a career cluster? What is a career pathway or career field? How can I use them to guide my career decisions?
You should consider several things in making this big decision. One of the most important is “Which one matches my interests?” A good match affects,
The grades you get,
How much you enjoy school,
The college major or program of study you choose later on,
Whether you can find a job, and
How satisfied and successful you are in a career.
Check out the 16 Career Cluster posters to see which pathways (careers) may fit you!
