Career Learning Area Cluster Framework
HSD organizes career and college pathways utilizing the National Career Clusters framework from Advance CTE. The framework consists of 14 Clusters and 72 Sub-Clusters that serve as the primary organizational structures for career pathway programs. These structures are supported by five Cluster Groupings aligned to purpose and impact of included careers, and three Cross-Cutting Clusters that provide both skills and careers that can stand alone and intersect with all other Clusters.
