Harnessing Cross-Cutting Career Clusters to Prepare Learners for the Future of Work
By: Mason Pashia and Stacy Whitehouse on May 8, 2025
As the demands of the workforce evolve, so too must the ways we prepare learners. Today’s careers are increasingly complex, multidimensional, and interdisciplinary; however, our pathways remain static and siloed. The future of work will be unlikely combinations of skills and sectors. For example, a student in a construction pathway may participate in projects that combine their passion for environmental science and graphic design along with their construction courses. Success in this dynamic landscape requires a robust foundation of adaptable skills, a lifelong learning mindset, and technical expertise that spans traditional career pathways.
