There are six Career clusters, and they help us think differently about how people work. Find out more and register your school for free - https://ponder.education/career-clust... The research shows us that when we think about work, most of us think about the same key jobs as everyone else – I’m talking about jobs like ‘lawyer’, ‘teacher’, firefighter’, ‘doctor’ – the visible jobs. In fact, around half of all teenagers aspire to just 1% of all jobs – that’s right, 50% of teenagers want to work in just 10 key jobs But the majority of adults don’t actually work in these jobs at all – they work as managers, salespeople, technicians, and operators, and this is where the Career Clusters come in. Instead of using industries to group jobs together, the Clusters are groups of jobs that share a set of core technical and transferable skills, key tasks, work settings, and common outcomes, and you’ll find people from each Cluster in every industry. This approach gives us a flexible framework for understanding the strengths and motivations we all bring to the workplace, and recognises that while we might grow and change throughout our careers, we’ll use the skills we’ve gained in other roles, often within the same Cluster. Because the Clusters are based on skills and outcomes, rather than job outputs, people can align themselves with the Cluster which suits their interests and strengths, and then find a role in the Cluster that suits them in any industry they like.
