Career Clusters Logo

The modern Framework consists of 14 Clusters and 72 Sub-Clusters that serve as the primary organizing structures for CTE programs. These structures are supported by five Cluster Groupings aligned to purpose and impact of included careers, and three Cross-Cutting Clusters that provide both skills and careers that can stand alone and intersect with all other Clusters. Twelve Career-Ready Practices to ensure that every program includes the skills that are essential to every career and life.

*All students have access to every cluster offered by TCS through dual enrollment at all locations.

*Clusters are linked to NCcareers.org and pathways are linked to the NC CTE Course Management System.
