More About Cluster


In 2023 we landed on the word cluster for the name of our magazine. This word is a natural part of our CTE venacular as each of our individual programs fall into the “career cluster” categories, Studio 235’s being Arts,  AV Technology & communications. Read more below!   

The National Career Clusters® Framework serves as an organizing tool for Career Technical Education (CTE) programs, curriculum design and instruction. There are 16 Career Clusters in the National Career Clusters Framework, representing 79 Career Pathways to help learners navigate their way to greater success in college and career. The framework also functions as a useful guide in developing programs of study bridging secondary and postsecondary systems and for creating individual student plans of study for a complete range of career options. As such, it helps learners discover their interests and their passions, and empowers them to choose the educational pathway that can lead to success in high school, college and career.

The 16 Career Clusters are listed below. Click on each one to learn more:
