Career Clusters 101: An Introduction Session #2 – SD School Counselor Professional Development Series October 30, 2008

Why Career Clusters? Technological advances and global competition have transformed the nature of work. Tomorrow's jobs will require more knowledge, better skills, and more flexible workers than ever before. Tomorrow's workers must be prepared to change jobs and careers several times, continually updating their knowledge and skills. To prepare today's students for tomorrow, schools are working to help students achieve in challenging subjects. One key approach to this goal is to provide students with relevant contexts for learning.

Why Career Clusters? Career clusters link what students learn in school with the knowledge and skills they need for success in college and careers. Career clusters identify pathways from secondary school to two- and four-year colleges, graduate school, and the workplace, so students can learn in school and what they can do in the future. This connection to future goals motivates students to work harder and enroll in more rigorous courses.

Why Career Clusters? Students can use career clusters to investigate a wide range of career choices. The career cluster approach makes it easier for students to understand the relevance of their required courses and helps them select their elective courses more wisely.

What are the Career Clusters? A broad set of related occupations used when organizing career information, instruction, and student opportunities. Career Clusters provide a way for schools to organize instruction and student experiences around sixteen broad categories that encompass virtually all occupations from entry through professional levels. sixteen broad categories

Role of the School Counseling Program This new movement requires closer, more collaborative relationships between school counselors and students. PLP become the ongoing vehicle to focus these counselor-student sessions. Parental involvement with the PLP heightens parental involvement and in turn highlights to the larger community the important role school counselor’s play in kids lives

Role of the School Counseling Program The PLP also encourages coordination of classroom instruction and out-of-class work experiences which promotes teachers and school counselors working collaboratively to find extended learning experiences for students. School counselors serve as the “hub of the wheel” for these team efforts with students, teachers, and parents

“When school counseling is implemented as a program, it places school counselors conceptually and structurally in the center of education, making it possible for them to contribute directly and substantially to their local school districts’ educational goals.” --Norm Gysbers Lifelong Leader in School Counseling
