Texas Career Cluster Project

Brings together statewide Administrators, Faculty, Staff and Industry Professionals to develop model programs of study at the associate level that allow students to follow a career pathway. The project focuses on creating a vertical alignment process between high school and community college career and technical education courses.

Our vision is to create connectivity and continuity between secondary and postsecondary curriculum that promotes seamless transitions for students leaving high school, entering college and into the workforce.

Project Deliverables are programs of study provided by each of the Career Clusters listed on the right. (Due to be completed by 8/31/08.) Programs of study will be developed in 16, 2-day workshops. In advance of workshops, particpants will be provided information where roles and expected outcomes will be articulated.

Project Funded by the Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Improvement Act of 2006 as administered by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board, THECB, and through the Texas State Leadership Council.
Project #81103 - Funding Year 2007/08.
