Six Career Fields are the broadest level of career options. They’re a good place to get started exploring.
Underneath those six career fields are 16 Career Clusters. This is where you can get more details about career paths that interest you. Careers that need the same knowledge and skills are grouped in the same cluster. Each cluster can include hundreds of different careers.
Each career cluster includes one or more of the 81 Minnesota Career Pathways. A pathway is a group of related career specialties within a career cluster. A pathway has its own knowledge and skill requirements. Educational programs can be developed around each pathway. These programs are called Programs of Study and can include high school and college courses based on industry expectations and skill standards.
The center of the career pathways graphic shows the knowledge and foundation skills. These are a core set of skills needed to be ready for work and/or college.
