Illustrative collation of the six colourful CADI Cluster Guide covers from Study Work Grow

Cadi Career Cluster Guides

The CADI Career Cluster Guides are an easy way for your students to explore potential career paths within their Clusters

Help your students to learn more about their Cadi Cluster with the Cluster Guides for schools.

The Cluster Approach to Development of Identity (CADI) is a modern approach to identity assessment for students, and these engaging ‘print or share’ resources will help you to take the post-quiz conversations further.

What is a Cadi Cluster Guide?

The Cadi Clusters help your students to discover which groups of people their skills, motivations, interests, and strengths align with in the world of work. But this is just a starting point for conversation. So we designed these in-depth guides for you to share with your students to help them explore their career possibilities.

Each of the six (6) Cadi Cluster Guides includes:

  • What the Cluster is about (Maker, Coordinator, Guardian, Innovator, Informer, and Linker)
  • Who works in that Cluster and what they do
  • Common tasks and an example of someone from their Cluster
  • What skills people in this Cluster have (from the Career Cluster Wheel)
  • Where people from this Cluster work
  • Jobs for people in this Cluster
  • PLUS early, mid, and senior career roles across a wide range of pathways
  • Where could your career take you?

All in high-resolution PDFs files that your school is licensed to share and print within your school community.

How can I use the Cadi Cluster Guides?

We know that all schools are different, so we’ve designed these guides so you can use them in a multitude of different ways.

  • You can distribute them after students take the Cadi Cluster Quiz so they can explore their Cluster(s) further)
  • Use them at Career Information Evenings or school Careers Expos – as students can often self-identify with their Cluster(s)
  • Add them to your school intranet in your Careers section
  • Make the download links available to parents (as this will help them with career conversations at home)
  • Print multiple copies and share them with your school Librarians for a Careers information magazine rack
  • Print them out and use them in your Careers office or senior area
  • Pair them with the Career Cluster posters and set up a display where your students can read about the Clusters
They link into other Study Work Grow programs and resources

Because the Cadi Clusters have been validated, celebrated and used all over the world, we now use them as the foundation for many of our career education resources.

From Job Spotlights to Ponder Program lessons to AweHunters (our Careers-in-the-Curriculum Program), we’ve made it easy for you to have a common ‘language’ of careers at school that transcends all you do.

So when you’re sharing a resource or delivering a lesson, the Cadi Guides give your students have a firm place to start or even pivot their career exploration.

Which year levels are they designed for?

While most secondary schools will use the Cadi Cluster Quiz around Years 9 or 10, the Cadi Cluster Guides are designed to suit all secondary school year levels in all english-speaking settings.
