Where are we going with this?
• All UA Programs will be mapped into career clusters,
recognizing programs can be mapped into multiple
clusters for promotional purposes.
• As potential students become more aware of career
options & recommended preparation, they are more likely
to succeed!
• UA can begin tracking alumni employment by program &
career cluster, highlighting UA’s contribution to economic
development in Alaska to demonstrate student success
through placement in program-related industries.
