What are Career Pathways?
Career Pathways are clusters of occupations and careers that are combined together because many of the people
within them share similar interests and strengths. For the State of Arizona, SIX Career Pathway clusters have been adopted by the Arizona Department of Education.
Who should learn about Career Pathways?
Career Pathways are for ALL STUDENTS. By selecting a career pathway, students can prepare for the future, regardless of their
interests, abilities, talents, or desired level of education. All pathways have equal dignity.
How can choosing a Career Pathway help students?
Deciding on a career pathway can help a student prepare for the future. The intent is not to decide on a specific occupation, but
to select a career pathway in which one can begin directing his or her energies. Identifying a career pathway can help in selecting school courses, activities, and part-time employment as well as work-based
learning opportunities.
The Mohave Tech Prep Consortium has produced the Career Pathways
Inventory as a simple tool to help students identify their Career Pathway(s) of interest.
