- What does a Career Pathway mean? Career pathways are a series of connected education, training, and support strategies aimed at helping students achieve their own definition of success. Providing career pathways for students means that education and training align with the needs of the local job market, provide a range of secondary and postsecondary options, result in a secondary high school diploma, and help students enter or advance within an occupation. Within the CTEERS business structure, a Career Pathway is defined as one of the nationally adopted 16 career clusters.

What if a student concentrates in more than one Career Pathway Type? If a student concentrates in more than one Career Pathway Type, submit only the Primary Concentration.
