CAREER PATHWAYS WHAT ARE CAREER PATHWAYS?

Career Pathways are multi-year programs of academic and technical study that prepare high school students for a full range of postsecondary options within each of the 16 clusters. Currently, there are 79 nationally recognized pathways, each with a specific pathway knowledge and skills. These pathways provide a context for exploring career options at all levels of education and a framework for linking learning to the knowledge and skills needed for future education and employment.

WHY A CAREER CLUSTERS FRAMEWORK?

The framework of career pathways, career clusters, and programs of study organizes educational preparation and occupational choices into a unified concept. Career clusters provide a focus and path for students to pursue learning experiences that begin in P-12 education and extend through college to careers.

CAREER CLUSTERS • • • • • •

Are for all students Create distinct educational plans of study that students can follow from secondary to postsecondary education to the workplace Help create smooth transitions in the educational pipeline and reduce duplication Empower students through information and experiences they need to make informed educational choices Help counselors, teachers, parents, and students design individual plans of study Comprise a key element in enhancing economic development by connecting schools with business and industry

WHO BENEFITS? • • • •

Students benefit when there are links between education and careers. Career pathways provide career guidance and a framework for students to plan their future. Students are more motivated when they can see the relevance of their education and are provided with smooth transitions to college and careers.

Educators (teachers, counselors, and administrators) benefit when they integrate academic and CTE curricula, partake in professional development, align with other school reform efforts, and receive support. Programs of study also connect educators with local business and industry to ensure that what students learn connects to current and emerging careers.

Employers benefit when they have the opportunity to partner with educators to prepare future employees by determining necessary skills, certifications, and current knowledge to succeed in the workforce.

Communities benefit when business and industry partners with education for local economic development and educational planning.

Higher levels of educational attainment contribute to a healthier local economy.

*Always consult with your school counselor for help in creating an individualized plan that best meets your specific learning and career goals

DEFINITIONS

District 220 uses the following nationally recognized definitions to help prepare students for the selection of coursework and to support students post-secondary decisions and goals. The Illinois Community College Board (n.d.) provides the following key concepts and definitions: Career Clusters are groups of occupations and industries that have a set of foundational knowledge and skills in common. There are 16 nationally recognized clusters within which are multiple career pathways.

Cluster Level Knowledge and Skills: The cluster level knowledge and skills set is built on a common core required for career success in the multiple occupations included in the cluster. This shared core consists of the following elements: academic foundations; communication; problem solving and critical thinking; information technology applications; systems; safet, health , and environment; leadership and teamwork; ethics and legal responsibilities; employability and career development; and technical skills.

Pathway Level Knowledge and Skills: The pathway level knowledge and skills set is built on a common core of knowledge and skills required for career success in all programs of study aligned with the pathway. This core is specific to the pathway and consists of elements selected by secondary and postsecondary educators with input from business and industry and other stakeholders.

Programs of Study (POS) are sequences of courses that incorporate a non-duplicative progression of secondary and postsecondary elements, which include both academic and career and technicial education content. Programs of study should start no later than the ninth grade and continue through at least two years of postsecondary education. Programs of study include opportunities to earn college credit (dual credit) in high school, an industry-recognized credential or certificate at the secondary/postsecondary level, and an associate or baccalaureate degree.

CAREER CLUSTERS PARTNERSHIPS

Secondary and postsecondary education partnerships bring together business and industry employers, labor organizations, communitybased organizations, faith-based organizations, parent groups, and others to educate students and address the state’s workforce and economic development. These groups focus on the following: • • • • • •

Secondary and postsecondary alignment Seamless transition Reduced remediation Non-duplicated courses Integrated academic and career-technical education (CTE) curricula Dual-credit opportunities

• • • • • •

Standards-based curricula aligned with industry credentials and/or certification Career development Professional development Articulation agreements Data-sharing agreements Partnerships and collaboration

Critical to this approach is the fact that education and employer partners need to develop and implement pathway curricula that lead to employment, including pathways in existing and emerging STEM.

STEM EDUCATION STEM EMPLOYMENT

The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) predicts that jobs requiring science, engineering, and technical training will increase 34% between 2008 and 2018 (National Science Foundation, 2010). By 2018, the DOL projects that Illinois jobs requiring postsecondary education and training will grow by 418,000, as compared to 148,000 jobs for high school graduates and dropouts. Two million job vacancies will be created from both retirements and new jobs with over half of these requiring postsecondary credentials (Carnevale, A.P., & Smith, N., 2011). By 2018, 64% of all jobs in Illinois will require some postsecondary education and training. Of the jobs needing to be filled, an estimated 348,000 will be STEM-related, requiring extensive skill sets in science, technology, mathematics and/or engineering (My College Options & STEM Connectors, 2012).

A call for STEM education resonates as advances in technology continue to evolve. Focusing on STEM competencies and skill sets is deemed a major strategy for Illinois as well as the United States to support global competitiveness and reach the goal of increasing the proportion of Illinoisans with high-quality degrees and credentials from 44% to 60% by the year 2025 (Illinois Pathways Initiative, 2013).

STEM EDUCATION

STEM education refers to Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics education that is offered independently or in an integrated fashion. Typically, STEM applies to instruction across all educational levels—elementary, middle school, high school, adult and postsecondary education—and it is foundational to many college majors and career opportunities. STEM education can be provided through a variety of instructional formats, including classrooms and laboratories within schools and colleges, but also through out-of-classroom and work-based learning (WBL) activities.

The Common Core State Standards (CCSS) and the related content and pedagogy supporting STEM programs of study have major implications for student success (Common Core Standards Initiative, 2012). Integrated, project-based and contextualized learning (sometimes seen as a definitional part of STEM education) includes integration of subject matter and a collaborative environment to achieve a solution or multiple solutions to a problem or challenge. Networking with professionals through WBL opportunities and/or mentoring can offer students a fresh and exciting perspective on a career field or occupation.

ILLINOIS CAREER CLUSTER MODEL CAREER CLUSTER EXAMPLE

This example of the Illinois Career Cluster Model shows the relationship between one of Illinois’ five secondary CTE areas (Health Sciences Technology), the related career cluster (Health Science), the five pathways within that cluster, and sample programs of study within each pathway. It also illustrates the essential knowledge and skills that are shared by all clusters; the cluster level knowledge and skills shared by all occupations within the pathways in the cluster; the pathway level knowledge and skills specific to each of the five pathways; and the programs of study, which represent courses that are taken at multiple education levels and lead to employment in related pathway occupations. Career exploration and development are infused at all levels of the model. The model also shows an entry point for adults by including bridge programs that infuse cluster level knowledge and skills with adult education and remedial education course content.
