National Association of State Directors of Career Technical Education Consortium : Career Clusters : Resources for Career Clusters : Crosswalks

Crosswalks

The National Career Clusters™ Framework organizes educational delivery within 16 Career Clusters™ and 79 Career Pathways. In addition to the National Framework, several different taxonomies and coding systems exist from the Department of Labor, Department of Education, and others involved in career, occupational development, and education. The following resources are crosswalks that have been created to support the linkage or bridging of these different coding systems with the 16 Career Clusters™ and related Career Pathways to assist in reporting, research, and other applications.

Please Note: The crosswalks available below are provided as a resource service for the CTE community. Because they were not developed by NASDCTEc or the National Career Technical Education Foundation (NCTEF), we will not be able to answer questions about their coding, when they may be updated, or other matters pertaining to these crosswalks. For that you will need to contact the organizations involved with their development.
