What are CTAE Pathways?

Georgia's Career Cluster/Pathways provide a structure for organizing and delivering quality Career, Technical and Agricultural Education (CTAE) programs. Career Clusters serve as framework to provide essential knowledge and skills for the students' defined career pathways. Career Pathways serve as a tool for a seamless educational system that blends rigorous academic/technical preparation allowing students to discover their interests and passions by empowering them to choose the educational pathway that will lead to success in high school, college and in their careers.
