areer clusters contain occupations in the same field of work that require similar skills. Voluntary education personnel and service members can use career clusters to help focus education plans towards obtaining the necessary knowledge, competencies, and training for success in a particular career pathway. The June, July, August, and September 2017 DIBs provided details how DANTES sponsored programs help service members prepare for careers in Business, Transportation & Logistics, Information Technology, and Health Science. This month’s issue focuses on building career pathways in Law, Public Safety, Corrections, and Security. Careers in this cluster are found in a variety of Vol 482
settings. An individual might guard the public and enforce the law as a police officer or security guard. Or, an individual may provide fire protection as a firefighter. Other workers provide legal services to people who commit crimes. An individual might monitor activities within a prison, advise clients of their legal rights, or research legal procedures to support court cases. The Law, Public Safety, Corrections, and Security career cluster is considered to have occupations that have “Bright Outlooks” by the Department of Labor. Occupations within this cluster are expected to grow rapidly in the next several years, will have large numbers of job openings, or are new and emerging occupations.
