2 Begin with the end in mind. -Steven Covey Licking County in Ohio has identified seven career clusters to make the process of choosing a career and planning for that career easier for students. The seven career clusters and logos are: Arts and Communications Business and Marketing Industrial and Engineering Systems Environmental and Agricultural Systems Health Services Human Resources/Services Information Technology All occupations fall under these broad career cluster headings. These seven career clusters have different levels of employment based, most frequently, on education and/or training. Professional careers require the most education or specialized training, usually a four-year college degree or higher. Technical careers normally require a two-year degree or specialized training. Entry-level careers usually required only a high school diploma with a limited amount of additional training. The list of careers on the following pages is a partial listing obtained from OCIS (Ohio Career Information System). It is a representative list only. For a complete listing of potential careers, see your school counselor. Career Pathways are created to provide a map to help students pursue relevant coursework for their chosen career cluster. The following pages identify a recommended schedule, electives directly related to the career cluster, and the educational training sites and educational opportunities available during high school to reach your goal. For planning purposes, the next page is a page you can use to help in the planning of your high school 4-year plan. Check out the following pages. They can help you prepare to take advantage of a tremendous number of opportunities in your career cluster.
