Career Pathways
What are Career Pathways?
Career Pathways are clusters of occupations and careers that are combined together because many of the people within them share similar interests and strengths. For the State of Michigan,
SIX Career Pathway clusters have been adopted by the Michigan Department of Education.
Who should learn about Career Pathways?
Career Pathways are for ALL STUDENTS. By selecting a career pathway, students can prepare for the future, regardless of their interests, abilities, talents, or desired level of education. All pathways have equal dignity.
How can choosing a Career Pathway help students?
Deciding on a career pathway can help a student prepare for the future. The intent is not to decide on a specific occupation, but to select a career pathway in which one can begin directing his or her energies. Identifying a career pathway can help in selecting school courses, activities, and part-time employment as well as work-based learning opportunities.
