Programs of Study (POS)
A Program of Study is an educational plan that provides a sequence of instruction for career preparation. Programs of Study are organized around a pathway within a Career Cluster.
A POS includes:
a recommended sequence of technical and academic courses, high school through college
activities including work-based, service and co-curricular activities
There are 81 pathways within the 16 National Clusters. Idaho has developed Programs of Study for 59 of those pathways based on the course offerings in the Professional-Technical (PTE)Programs in Idaho. To view these PTE-oriented Programs of Study for Idaho, click here.
Cluster-Level Programs of Study/Individual Graduation Plans
As implementation of the Career Clusters progresses in Idaho, Programs of Study (POS) will be developed for most of the 81 pathways in collaboration with academic program managers in the State Department of Education. All 81 pathways will eventually be posted to this website. For now, however, cluster-level Programs of Study/Individual Graduation Plans are posted below for your use with students:
