What are the Career Clusters?

There are six Clusters, and each is made up of amazing people doing amazing things in similar ways, because they share a set of common tasks, skills, and outcomes. 

The Career Clusters give us a new way to think about how we work

Based in the latest research, the six Career Clusters each represent groups of people who want the same sorts of things out of their work. 

The Clusters allow us to move past traditional ways of thinking about the work we do, which group people based on what the goods and services they produce, and instead show us how we can play to our strengths when looking for work.

The six Career Clusters

Maker

Makers create and maintain the places where we live and work. They grow crops, build homes, repair vehicles, and keep the power on

Linker

Linkers help us find, choose, secure, and use things. They can help us with products and physical items, or with the services and support we need

Innovator

Innovators design, engineer, and manufacture things we use in all areas of our lives, from the clothes we wear, to the food we eat, the homes we live in and the roads we drive on

Coordinator

Coordinators are the people who plan, prepare, and administer our events, systems and economy. They play a vital role in making sure everything runs smoothly

Guardian

Guardians protect our mental and physical wellbeing. They help us care for our health, and guard against illness and injury

Informer

Informers advise, teach, and guide us so we can manage our legal, social, and financial responsibilities, and participate in society
