Career Clusters / Pathways
North Carolina Career Exploration Guide - NCcareers.org
Career clusters are groups of occupations in the same field of work that require similar skills. Each cluster contains several smaller groups called career pathways that connect to educational programs, industries, and careers.
While a career cluster paints a broad picture of a group of occupations, a pathway helps you focus on and develop a clear, more informed educational plan over time. The structure of the National Career Clusters Framework of 16 career clusters and 73 related career pathways supports your growing career awareness and exploration.
*All students have access to every cluster offered by TCS through dual enrollment at all locations.
*Clusters are linked to NCcareers.org and pathways are linked to the NC CTE Course Management System.
