Career Planning

Career clusters are groups of jobs that are based on similar interests, skills, and abilities. See the career cluster handout for more information about each cluster, or take an online quiz that will help you identify a cluster you like here: https://www.iseek.org/careers/clusterSurvey
What are the jobs that interest you within that career cluster? (See final page for ideas)
If you can’t think of a job in this cluster that appeals to you, take an online quiz that will help you here: http://www.careerbridge.wa.gov/ After you take the quiz, you can click on your occupation choices to see wage information and labor statistics in WA state for each occupation.
Coursework Plan
Depending on your post-secondary education plan, you may want to select a personalized education pathway that requires specific coursework. Please check one of the two pathways below.
I plan to seek a career requiring a four-year college degree, so I am taking a college-ready course pathway.
I plan to seek a career requiring individualized occupational training, so I am taking a trade or vocational course pathway.
