Career and Technical EducationWHAT ARE CAREER PATHWAYS? Career Pathways are coherent, articulated sequenced of rigorous academic and career and technical courses commencing in the ninth grade and leading to an associate degree, baccalaureate degree and beyond; an industry recognized certificate, and/or licensure organized around sixteen career clusters defined by the Office of Vocational and Adult Education in 1999. These career clusters are grouped to organize the educational programs and curricula according to occupations and common knowledge and skills. The development of an effective career pathway planned from a rigorous academic and career and Technical coherent sequence of courses provides students the opportunity to participate in a 4+2(+2) program of study leading to employment in an occupational field and/or continued education and training.
Career pathways support parents, counselors, and teachers in providing better ASSISTANCE to students as they consider career goals and select high school courses. |
