  the knowledge skills that are common to all
  occupations in the cluster, and that are
  necessary for career success.
• Lets review

What can Career Clusters do?

• Current and new career technical education
  programs can be integrated and/or cross-walked to
  each other.
• Clusters can help us to prepare students for
  entry and success in college/university/technical
  training.
• Clusters can help us to provide a well-prepared,
  qualified workforce for employers.

Career Cluster Knowledge Skills
For example, in New Jersey the Career Cluster
Knowledge Skill Statements and Performance
Elements have been used to help us construct (and
have been correlated to) the New Jersey Core
Content Curriculum Standards and Indicators for
Career Education and Consumer, Family and Life
Skills, which are ...

Sowhy align the CIP Codes to Career Clusters and
Pathways?

• To help in accurately collecting
• CTE program data (participants,
  concentrators, completers).
• To help to provide articulation from
• (1) Secondary education to
• (2) Postsecondary education to
• (3) Employment.
• a seamless transition!

22
Sowhy align the CIP Codes to Career Clusters and
Pathways?

• The Career Clusters and cluster frameworks as
  developed did not match all occupational
  specialties to the clusters or cluster pathways
  
• just some sample specialties

• (www.census.gov/hhes/www/ioindex.html).
• U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics
• (http//www.bls.gov/).
• North American Industry Classification System
  (NAICS - Succeeded Standard Industrial

  Consortium Career Clusters.

26
One Alignment Some Questions

• The National Center for Educational
  Statistics (http//nces.ed.gov/pubs2002/cip2000/)
  
• has provided an alignment of the CIP 2000 to
  the Career Clusters, but this was not extended to
  the Career Cluster Pathways.
• Postsecondary programs of study may not have
  been considered.

27
Alignment - Questions We Have Asked

• Knowledge Skills
• (Cluster Cluster Pathway)
• CIP Codes (2, 4, and 6-digit) and program
  descriptions.
• Postsecondary College and
• University schools, divisions, and
• programs of study
• Needed to align these to each other
• as closely as possible!

28
New Jersey has aligned

• all Secondary and Postsecondary Career and
  Technical Education (CTE) Programs of Study to
  the
• 16 Career Clusters and
• the 81 Career Cluster Pathways

What Can CIP Code Alignment to Career Clusters
Accomplish?

• Career Cluster alignment doesnt supplant viable
  occupationally-specific programs.
• Alignment is a tool to help broaden the scope of
  CTE programs to expose students to a wider range
  of career choices.
• Alignment provides a tool to transition students
  to postsecondary majors and employment.
• Alignment helps meet the provisions of the Carl
  D. Perkins CTE Act of 2006

41
Perkins IV has a number of new provisions that
include

• Requiring each agency eligible for funds to
  create at least one high school
• career and technical education program that
  prepares students for high-demand, high-wage
  occupations and leads to recognized employer
  credentials, postsecondary certificates and
  associates and/or bachelors degrees
• a Career Program of Study (based on CCTIs
  Pathways).

42
Career Clusters Plans of Study

• The Career Clusters Plans of Study are
  comprised of a sequenced listing of courses, both
  academic and CTE/degree major, that connect
  students' high school and postsecondary
  educational experiences.
• The Plans of Study also include a set of
  course descriptions for the CTE/degree major
  courses based on knowledge and skills statements
  for each Cluster and Pathway.

Future Considerations

• Revisions to the Classification of Instructional
  Programs (CIP) to include / accommodate general
  or undifferentiated programs.
• The next revision is slated for 2010.
• A new coding structure geared around the Career
  Clusters and Pathways? If so, what
• Cluster / Pathway / Content Standards crosswalks
  are needed!
