The National Career Clusters® Framework provides 16 groupings (clusters) of occupations based on similar skill sets, interests, abilities, and activities. The clusters contain sub-groupings called Career Pathways. These pathways are used by many school systems to develop curriculum to enhance the knowledge and skills required for a particular career field.
