What are Career Clusters?
Career clusters are a simple way of grouping careers based on how people think, work, and contribute not just job titles. Instead of asking “What job do you want to be?”, career clusters help answer:
• What are you naturally drawn to?
• Do you enjoy working with people, ideas, systems, tools, or data?
• Do you prefer structure or creativity?
• Do you like solving problems, caring for others, building things, or leading teams?
Each cluster brings together related careers, helping students see more options, not fewer.
Why Career Clusters Matter
Many students feel confused because:
• They only know a few “popular” careers
• They choose subjects without understanding the end result
• They don’t see how their interests connect to real jobs
