Career Clusters
Within Naviance Student, students can explore careers by searching Career Clusters.
Career clusters is a way of grouping careers with common features and skills.
Careers grouped into the same cluster typically require similar education and training. Exploring clusters can be a useful way to find a good career match, especially if you have general areas of interest but are not sure what specific careers match those interests.
