Arizona Department of EducationArizona Student Education & Career Action PlansECAP • An ECAP (Education and Career Action Plan) reflects a student's current plan of coursework, career aspirations, and extended learning opportunities in order to develop the student's individual academic and career goals. • Effective for the graduating class of 2013, every student in grades 9-12 will complete an ECAP Plan.
CHOOSING A CAREER IS A BIG DECISION – But you don't have to sweat it—planning for your future is not something you do all at once. It's a continuous process.
Take a realistic look at your strengths, weaknesses, and interests. Consider: • What types of work and school courses and activities appeal to you? • What interests you? • What do you do well now, and what skills have you gained through experience? • What values do you have regarding work?
Career Clusters • Career Clusters identify the knowledge and skills needed to follow a pathway toward career goals and provide a context for exploring the many occupational options available.
Why Career Clusters? Career Clusters can help: • Determine electives in high school • Identify Career Pathways • Identify specific Occupations • Identify the training needed after high school
16 Career Clusters • Hospitality & Tourism • Human Services • Information Technology • Law, Public Safety & Security • Manufacturing • Marketing, Sales & Service • Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics • Transportation, Distribution & Logistics • Agriculture, Food & Natural Resources • Architecture & Construction • Arts, Audio/Video Technology & Communications • Business, Management & Administration • Education & Training • Finance • Government & Public Administration • Health Science
