About Us

The States’ Career Clusters Initiative (SCCI) is an initiative established under the National Career Technical Education Foundation (NCTEF) to provide Career Clusters as a tool for seamless transition from education to career in this era of changing workplace demands. SCCI helps states as they connect career technical education (CTE) to education, workforce preparation, and economic development. To this end, SCCI develops new products and promotes information-sharing, techniques, and methods to aid the development and implementation of Career Clusters within states.

Some specific examples of SCCI’s activities include hosting the annual National Career Clusters Institute; providing direct technical assistance to states that are at varying stages of implementing Career Clusters; serving as a clearinghouse for Career Clusters information via this website; building relationships with business, labor, education and other organizations by recruiting and supporting Cluster Leaders; and working with National Advisory Committees for content review of Cluster Knowledge and Skills Statements.
