Paulding County School District CTAE offers pathways from each of the 17 Georgia career clusters. Georgia’s Career Clusters allow students to choose an area of interest in high school. Students take classes tailored to their cluster, which helps them navigate their way to greater success – no matter what they choose to do after high school graduation. CTAE pathway completion provides the foundation for students' college and career readiness, whether they want to serve in the military, attend a technical school, two-year college, a four-year university or go straight into the world of work. 

Students will begin to learn about potential careers in elementary and middle school so that they are ready to choose a pathway once they reach high school.
