What is a Career Cluster/Pathway?

A career pathways/cluster is a series of connected education and training programs, work experiences, and student support services that enable individuals to secure a job or advance in a demand industry or occupation.

Simply put, it is a student's preparation towards a career. This includes meaningful and intentional high school coursework, job experiences, internships, job shadows, and any other experiences connected to the student's eventual matriculation into college coursework for a specific occupation.

NGHS Internships

Students, this is not the end all be all. This is, simply put, a collection of resources that will greatly aid you. However, if you have any questions, doubts or fears about interviewing, resumes, etc. your counselor will take the time to give advice/guidance on your resume, to mock interview you, and/or help construct an email to send out to a company of interest. This is A LOT of information, take your time processing, and ask for help if you need it. 

INTERVIEWING
