This survey is recommended for instructor-facilitated activities designed for learners in grades 5 and higher, with the following applications:
- Early career exploration
- Program advising
- Interdisciplinary/Cross-Cutting Cluster integration

Cluster-by-Cluster Edition: Career Interest Survey: Pair with the Cluster-by-Cluster Edition to provide a more comprehensive assessment.
This Career Interest Survey should be just one of multiple career exploration experiences offered to learners, including online or in-person opportunities for employer interviews and tours, CTE alumni events, project-based learning, career fair, and more in-depth research or exploratory courses for specific industries and careers.
This survey was developed by Advance CTE in partnership with Indigo Education Company and is based on the National Career Clusters® Framework, a central organizing structure for available careers and for Career Technical Education (CTE) programs of study consisting of 14 Career Clusters. Advance CTE serves as the steward of the Framework.
