Programs of Study
The Programs of Study concept was developed from a national model of 16 Career Clusters. The Career Clusters are a way of describing the interconnectedness of education and work. The model very logically organizes all major occupations by Classification of Instructional Program (CIP) and bundles them into one of 16 areas.
