As you can see, the interest survey is divided into 16 groups. Each group is a career cluster.
Career clusters place similar occupations in groups. These clusters help you narrow the
thousands of career options in the world to a general area of interest. The clusters connect what
you learn in school to the skills and knowledge you need beyond high school. Some careers are
placed in more than one cluster.
