16 Career Clusters
In a not so long ago past or maybe even last year at your school, students were given a "Request for Classes' form to take home to parents. A quick review and a moment of "guessing" by student and parents alike, where they are returned the next day for the counselors to input into a cold, uncaring database of future schedules.
Students are "required" today to seriously decide as early as their 8th year of school of what they might be interested in as a beginning career. Unlike their parents, whether due to a tough economy or saving students from countless attendance hours in unnecessary classes, students are required to choose classes for their four year plan.
These classes have the potential to provide dual credit in a local college which implies a savings of time and money for students, parents and their community if those plans are designed well.

Throughout our project we have sprinkled links to an outstanding project called PBS Career Gates. Even though not being made in Texas, it is extremely good.
Career Clusters are skills and interests needed to prepare for a future career or occupation. Please enjoy what we found out in our own investigations from high school into college or other post secondary education or training of our dreams...
