Monthly Features

The state of Texas has identified 14 career clusters, and 2 career clusters will be featured monthly in guidance lessons and in announcements at Poth Elementary and at Poth Jr. High.

A career cluster is a group of occupations with similar features. Jobs in the same cluster require similar knowledge or skill sets.

Colleges and universities in Texas where students can prepare for their future careers will also be featured. An Alumni section for each college and university will be added to this page. If you are an Alumni of the featured college/university and would like to be added to the Alumni section please send an email to [email protected].

The goal of guidance lessons is to incorporate the character trait of the month while encouraging students to explore the many educational and career possibilities in the state of Texas.
