Vanderbilt Career Center

Use the image to the right to select a Career Cluster to investigate.

The VCC coaches students based on Career Clusters (groups of related industries and/or career fields) rather than by a student’s major. English majors sometimes find themselves in the music industry and Engineering majors find themselves on Wall Street. With this approach, students can explore their interests in various fields and see how they can apply what they have learned through their courses of study to their field of interest. Additionally, this may more effectively facilitate the specific needs of each industry and provide students with more targeted information in their life mapping process. The illustration to the right shows how the VCC categorizes these industries together.
