Abstract: The majority of states in the U.S. have embraced the career clusters concept. But they face challenges in implementing and expanding the system. This article discusses career cluster initiatives and the challenges they face. The career cluster model has the potential to help meet a number of challenges--from integrating academic and technical content to creating a seamless pathway for students. Pathways that cross learner levels can also create a greater opportunity for more dual and concurrent credits.
