The following career clusters are recognized by the Office of Vocational and Adult Education (OVAE) and
the National Association for State Directors of Career Technical Education Consortium (NASDCTEc). The
16 career clusters are occupational categories with industry-validated knowledge and skills statements that
define what students need to know and be able to do in order to realize success in a chosen field. Within
each of the clusters, programs of study have been developed, which outline sequences of academic, career
and technical courses and training that begin as early as ninth grade and lead to progressively higher levels of
education and higher-skilled positions in specific industries or occupations.

Your counselor can also help in identifying elective courses that may fit your career aspirations. The district
provides students with this opportunity through early release to gain credit through work-based opportunities.
