Module 6: Curricula & Career Pathways

	Overview

	This module provides information on the use of career clusters as a basis for curriculum development and the creation of career pathways. Clusters provide an ideal organizing tool to assist educators, counselors and parents who wish to help students to identify their interests and goals for the future. Information is also provided on the use of course sequences, which are articulated series of academic and technical courses that relate to postsecondary options and labor market needs.
