The National Career Clusters® Framework serves as an organizing tool for programs, curriculum design and instruction. Career Clusters contain occupations in the same field of work that require similar skills. They can help focus plans towards obtaining the necessary knowledge, competencies, and training for success in a particular career pathway.
