Implementation of Career Clusters

To address New Mexico’s students’ preparation for postsecondary engagement, educational and training opportunities are delivered through a system that has identified seven Career Clusters as the foundation for the state’s future economy. To reflect regional economic development prospects, employment opportunities, and emerging industries, and to provide uniform terminology among the States Departments of Education, Higher Education, Workforce Solutions (formerly the Department of Labor), and Economic Development, New Mexico’s Career Clusters have been crosswalked to the 16 National Career Clusters. New Mexico’s seven career clusters are:

The data in the above chart was taken from the Carl D. Perkins Vocational and Technical Education Act Reports to Congress on State Performance (see below). The Consolidated Annual Report, or CAR, is a mandatory fiscal and accountability report submitted by each state to the U.S. Department of Education. It provides performance information on Perkins indicators. A red X means a state did not meet its adjusted level of performance and a green checkmark means that the state did meet its goal. A blue bar in the Secondary Indicators table means that the state does not offer students the opportunity to earn both a high school diploma and other credential (e.g., a skill certificate) or that the data was not otherwise provided by the state. A blue bar in the Postsecondary Indicators table indicates that the state did not provide data. CAR narratives for individual states are hyperlinked below.
