<strong>Audio</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Video</strong> <strong>Technology</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Film</strong> is a pathway in the Arts, <strong>Audio</strong>-<strong>Video</strong> <strong>Technology</strong>, <strong>and</strong><br />
Communications Career Cluster. A Career Cluster is a grouping of occupations <strong>and</strong> broad industries<br />
based on commonalities. There are 16 Career Clusters.<br />
Career clusters link what students learn in school with the knowledge <strong>and</strong> skills they need for success in<br />
college <strong>and</strong> careers. The Arts, <strong>Audio</strong>-<strong>Video</strong> <strong>Technology</strong>, <strong>and</strong> Communications Career Cluster require<br />
courses <strong>and</strong> activities that challenge students to be creative. The ability to communicate effectively in<br />
both oral <strong>and</strong> written form is important.<br />
There are six pathways in this cluster:<br />
- <strong>Audio</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Video</strong> <strong>Technology</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Film</strong><br />
- Journalism <strong>and</strong> Broadcasting<br />
- Performing Arts<br />
- Printing <strong>Technology</strong><br />
- Telecommunications<br />
- Visual Arts<br />
Employment Outlook<br />

the scenes, jobs will be readily available. (Career Information System, 2006). Nationally, the salaries for<br />
film <strong>and</strong> video editors ranges between $21,710 <strong>and</strong> $93,950 (Occupational Outlook H<strong>and</strong>book, 2006-<br />

Inside you will find a career pathway model that has lots of helpful information. The model is an example of the types of courses <strong>and</strong><br />
extended learning experiences that are important for the <strong>Audio</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Video</strong> <strong>Technology</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Film</strong> Career Pathway. Use this model to<br />
plan your course schedule, educational experiences, <strong>and</strong> career choices.<br />
At the top of the model, you will find career goals with the corresponding O*NET code. The O*NET code is an official classification of<br />
jobs <strong>and</strong> can be used to locate career-related information. Your teacher, counselor, or media center should be able to help you locate<br />
further information.<br />
The upper left side of the model highlights the core courses <strong>and</strong> career-related electives in high school that will help prepare you for<br />
your career goal. This model is based upon the Recommended High School Graduation Plan <strong>and</strong> can easily be adapted for the<br />
Distinguished <strong>Achieve</strong>ment High School Graduation Plan.<br />
The upper right side of the model highlights examples of extended learning experiences that can enhance your knowledge <strong>and</strong> skills for<br />
your career goal. You will find examples of curricular activities, such as participation in Career <strong>and</strong> <strong>Technology</strong> Student Organizations like<br />
SkillsUSA, work-based learning experiences, service learning activities, <strong>and</strong> extracurricular activities.<br />
The lower left side of the model indicates industry licensures/certifications <strong>and</strong> on-the-job training experiences that may be available<br />
while still in high school. This section also highlights the various levels of postsecondary education <strong>and</strong> examples of career options<br />
available to you once you have completed that level of education <strong>and</strong> training.<br />
The lower right side of the model contains examples of professional associations available for audio <strong>and</strong> video technology<br />
professionals. Many organizations allow preprofessional membership while enrolled in a postsecondary program. Most organizations have<br />
websites which can be easily located by entering the organization name in available search engines.<br />
