Welcome to the Career Journey Maps
About
The Career Journey Map Project is focused on providing career and college practitioners an overview to each of the 16 Career Clusters The journey maps are intended to provide information and spark conversation between practitioner, student, and/or families. The maps are not an extensive collection of all the possible jobs, classes, or skills available in each cluster
Each journey map provides example jobs, example general job specifications, example job descriptions, suggested development, links to additional resources, and a next step The journey maps were created by Career College Collaborative (C3) with funding from the Oregon Department of Education and the Oregon Department of Human Services The Oregon Employment Department partnered with C3 to provide data and resources and the maps were reviewed by an advisory group.
The journey maps support:
● C3’s Mission of providing career and college readiness resources, materials, and information to educators and practitioners in the field.
● C3’s Theory of Change by building capacity for educators, practitioners, community organizations, and the public who support Oregon students transitioning to either career or college
Each journey map provides the following:
● Eight different visuals that indicate the type of job, physical environment, uniform, or materials a person in the career cluster may encounter.
● Three links to:
○ Career OneStop: a national website that shares information about the career clusters
○ Oregon CIS: an Oregon-specific website focused on helping explore careers and make a career plan
○ Quality Info: an Oregon-specific website focused on providing wage and employment data created by the Oregon Employment Department
