The Career and Technology Studies (CTS) pathway compass here illustrates how students may explore and discover their interests and passions.
As learners move into the Middle Years, they begin to identify with one or more interest area: business, communication, resources, technology and human services. As learners enter senior high school and the CTS program, they begin to identify the occupational cluster(s) that suit their interests and abilities. As learners become more focused, they examineOccupations options based on the National Occupational Classification. With a career goal in mind, learners can develop a pathway that leads them directly to an occupation or to post-secondary education.
