Starting in the fall of 2012, ninth graders will sit down with guidance counselors and parents to map out not just their classes but their "career pathway" during and after high school. Georgia is rolling out an intensified "career clusters" initiative that will make high school look more like college in an effort to better prepare students for careers after high school. The initiative is among the actions mandated by HB 186, signed into law this year, and the "Bridge Bill" HB 400, signed last year.
