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 Arizona, SIX Career Pathway clusters have been adopted by the Arizona Department of Education . 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.
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.
