Abstract | In the midst of several upheavals in the American labor market, career clusters entered the scene in the late 1990s. Career clusters, sometimes called career pathways or ladders, have exploded in popularity and are now being implemented by most states. Job types can be grouped according to similar work interests and knowledge/skill requirements. Career-technical education (CTE) and the career cluster model is positioned to take on a major role in regional workforce and economic development, in partnership with business and industry, colleges and workforce boards. In order to ensure that CTE programs are targeting high-wage, high-growth jobs, CTE administrators need information: in the forms of secondary data (published statistics) and primary data (customized surveys, focus groups, interviews). The most relevant secondary data is labor market information (often called LMI). LMI can allow analysts to rank entire clusters and pathways in terms of employment growth and wage level. In this article, the author explains how LMI can be used effectively with career clusters. (Contains 5 notes.) (ERIC). |
