Architecture & Construction
The Architecture & Construction career cluster prepares learners for careers in designing, planning, managing, building and maintaining the environment. People employed in this cluster work on new structures, restorations, additions, alterations and repairs. Construction comprises one of the largest industries in the United States. In the next few years, new jobs will be added, and many employment opportunities will result from the need to replace experienced workers who leave the career.
