CTAE Flow Chart

Pathways consist of three courses in a related area that are taken sequentially.

Course 1
Course 2
Course 3

Upon completion of a pathway, students have a few options available to them.

  • For many career clusters, students may take one additional class which would result in the completion of a second or third pathway in a similar area.
  • Students may also apply for Work-Based Learning. This is an opportunity students (that are at least 16 years old) to work in a local business through an internship or paid part-time position that is related to their career pathway and career goals. See the WBL Coordinator at your high school for more details.
  • Students may also want to consider dual enrollment options. This would enable the student to continue their study in that specific area with more rigorous content and earn college credit and high school credit at the same time. Please see the Career Counselor at your high school for more details.
