CAREER CLUSTERS, PATHWAYS AND ENDORSEMENTS

What Are Career Clusters and Pathways?

Career Clusters represent major groupings of similar occupations and industries within the U.S.

job market (e.g., business, information technology, manufacturing, health, human services.) Each

Cluster provides students with the "big picture" in terms of career options and an understanding

of the broad industry. Within each of the career clusters are various Career Pathways which

represent a variety of occupational fields or jobs associated with the career cluster.

DoDEA has adopted 10 of the United States Department of Education's 16 nationally recognized

Career Clusters and 17 associated pathways. Each DoDEA high school offers only those Clusters

and Pathways that can be supported by the local school curriculum offerings.

What is exciting about Career Clusters and Pathways is that they help students focus on what

they want to do with their lives after they graduate. By choosing a pathway of interest, students

are guided into the appropriate coursework and begin to understand the importance of subjects

like math, science and English in preparing them in the area of their career interest. Each

pathway focuses students on the courses and experiences that will allow them to explore careers

and prepare for two-year and four-year colleges, and the workplace.

What is a Pathway Endorsement?

Students completing a total of four (4) credits of study from the Required and Recommended

courses for a specific Pathway, are eligible for a Pathway endorsement. The Pathway

endorsement appears as a notation on the graduation transcript and is evidence that the student

completed a focused course of study in a career field or industry.

Endorsements must be verified and placed on the transcript by school personnel.

For a listing of required and recommended courses, see the Clusters and Pathways on the

following pages.

NOTE: The Related Courses do not count towards the Pathway endorsement.
