(YCB) A Look at Careers Lesson

A Look at Careers

In an effort to make the academic material you learn more relevant, 16 Career Clusters were created nationally to help students be more successful and to better prepare for college. Within these career clusters are career pathways that offer more specific training and the opportunity for students to earn nationally recognized credentials in a career field. Each career pathway consists of three sequenced courses. This course, Introduction to Business and Technology, is the gateway course in two career clusters: Finance and Business Management and Administration. Within the Finance Career Cluster there are three career pathways: Advanced Accounting, Business Accounting, and Financial Services. Within the Business Management and Administration Cluster there are also three career pathways: Business and Technology, Entrepreneurship, and Human Resource Management. If these titles sound a bit familiar to you, they should! This course has served to introduce you to the courses that will follow, no matter which pathway you choose.

When you follow a pathway, you expect it to lead somewhere. With a career pathway you can expect it to lead to a job. The good news is that there are a wide variety of jobs available in each pathway. Your choice is limited only by the amount and type of post-secondary education you choose. View the tables below for each of the two career clusters to get an idea where your path can lead you.
