Plans of Study
Welcome to the Career Cluster Plans of Study! All of the careers in each of the 16 Career Clusters are sub-grouped into Pathways. The number of Pathways per Cluster varies from two to seven. There are 16 Career Cluster Plans of Study. These 16 Plans of Study are derivative products of the work that was done on the Pathway Plans of Study. There are 81 Pathway Plans of Study (one for each Pathway across all 16 Career Clusters). Each Plan of Study is available in either PDF or Excel. The Excel files are easily customizable. These Plans of Study are samples and are based on the Knowledge and Skills identified for each Cluster and Pathway. The Knowledge and Skills referenced on the Plans of Study are displayed as Knowledge and Skills Charts and are available at the links provided for each Cluster and under the "Resources" tab on our website. These sample Plans of Study address Knowledge and Skills to the Pathway level. To fully complete a Plan of Study that addresses success to the career/occupation level, specific career/occupational Knowledge and Skills need to be added to these samples. |
