Partnerships involving state, schools, educators, employers, industry groups,
and other stakeholders are creating curriculum guidelines, academic and technical standards, assessments, and professional development materials for
16 career clusters:
- Agriculture, Food, & Natural Resources
- Architecture & Construction
- Arts, A/V Technology & Communications
- Business, Management & Administration
- Education & Training
- Finance
- Government & Public Administration
- Health Science
- Hospitality & Tourism
- Human Services
- Information Technology
- Law, Public Safety & Security
- Manufacturing
- Marketing, Sales & Service
- Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics
- Transportation, Distribution & Logistics
These 16 clusters represent all career possibilities. They are an ideal way to organize instruction and student experiences in Tech Prep, career academies, work-based learning programs, smaller learning communities, magnet and charter schools, and high schools that are restructuring around career themes.
The partnership approach gives business and industry a seat at the table, helping schools ensure that students acquire the knowledge and skills necessary for multiple career options within each career cluster. Partnerships are already developing the tools to support five clusters; all 16 clusters will be supported by the end of 2001.
