Missouri Connections

High School is the time to explore and prepare. It's time to start thinking about what you want out of high school and how it can help you accomplish your goals in the future. Learning about yourself, evaluating your options, exploring careers, and making plans for success are just a few of the steps you should be taking while in high school.

Missouri Connections has created 6 different Career Clusters to help students understand the different career paths and opportunities as well as high school classes and college programs that can help them reach those goals. Just click on "Career Exploration" on the left and then click on "16 Career Clusters". You can click on the areas in the diagram to learn more about each career cluster.
