Kansas Career Pipeline

by Sherri Foerschler

Kansas, like almost every other state, is embracing the career cluster model and applying it within schools across the state. Kansas Career Clusters is empowering local educators to adapt the career cluster model within the communities. Educators are being encouraged to adapt existing curricula to the cluster framework by creating courses that contribute to career pathways as they related to the needs of Kansas students, educators, and employers.

The Kansas Career Pipeline system helps individuals measure their career interests, skills and work values, explore occupations, establish educational strategies, and ultimately connect with Kansas employers who need their talents.

Once the model program, Kansas Career Clusters, is fully integrated, each student will be able to explore every career opportunity available to them and chart their own path to a rewarding career.
