Education and Training

  • Are you patient?
  • Do you enjoy teaching games to children?
  • Have you coached sports activities?
  • Are you outgoing?
  • Do you like to speak in front of groups?
  • Do you like being in school?

In the Education and Training cluster, you would have the opportunity to guide and train young people. As a teacher, you could influence young lives. In addition, you could support the work of the classroom teacher as a counselor, librarian, or principal. If you are interested in working with adults, you could provide training to employees in a business. Each of these settings provides you with the chance to help people learn and improve their lives.
