Career Cluster Inventory

Decent Essays
In one short year my classmates and I are expected to know what we want to do for the rest of our lives. The decision we make will affect us as a whole and will require deep self-reflection and research. The career cluster inventory suggested multiple answers for us to research and learn about. The results are based on the answers we provided concerning my interests and daily repertoire. My results include Finance, Arts and Communication, and Law and Public and Safety. My father has always encouraged me to look into the field of Finance; as I grew up I never wanted to research it because I wanted to pursue the Health Science field. A career within this field that sounds interesting is a teller. Tellers receive and distribute money for banks.

    Career Clusters & Advising One of the main attributions Achieve Texas contributes to advisors and counselors is that it breaks down potential class schedules in order to help a student be success in the career path they have chosen; it also goes on to help a student realize what expectations of the career field are, what kind of impact it has on the world, if the field is growing/shrinking, and ultimately, if it is the right fit. Achieve Texas does this through breaking career fields into clusters, or bunches of related careers. By doing this, it allows students to explore more possible options, to find one that best suits their personality and strengths.
