The state of Wisconsin organizes careers into 16 clusters based on common knowledge and similar skill requirements. Within each cluster there are pathways that break those careers down further into sub groups of careers.
In order for a student to understand which career pathway is best suited for them, students participate in a wide variety of Academic and Career planning activities, career experiences and surveys which expose them to different career clusters before fully committing.
Career clusters are a framework that allows us to examine areas of interest without having to choose a specific career right away. District students and parents can explore career clusters on the Xello Website through “Explore Careers” through their student login account.
The US Bureau of Labor Statistics provides information on a national scale: Career Clusters and Pathways can also be found on the Career Outlook Website.
The Career Clusters are as follows:
The state of Wisconsin through the Department of Workforce Development provides information on the career pathways on the state level. Such information includes the following:

-
