Abstract	Career clusters, career pathways, career majors, programs of study, plans of study--the list of terms being used these days to help describe the process for helping learners/students reach success in careers and postsecondary education seems endless. Lost in the dialogue of most conversations, however, is the discussion about the content of the courses, both academic and technical, that a learner needs to know in order to be successful in the workplace and/or in further studies. This content, found at www.careerclusters.org and labeled as the "Knowledge and Skills (K&S) Statements," is often overlooked but is likely the most important aspect of career planning. The official definition of the K and S is that they are broad statements specifying the knowledge and/or skills required of learners/workers in order to demonstrate competence in a given career cluster or career pathway. In this article, the authors discuss the significance of K and S statements on learners' career paths. (ERIC).
