Career Interest Clusters University Career Services uses a new career development model focused on career interest clusters. This allows students to break out of the confines of viewing career opportunities based on majors and opens the door to a larger portfolio of post-graduation options. Workshops, networking events, and job/internship postings within CareerKnight are now structured around the career interest cluster model.
