Career Exploration
Welcome to the Second Stage of
the Career Development Cycle
Career Exploration
In Unit 2, students will begin to establish and explore their interest of different career fields – whether this be many or few. The students will learn why they are interested in specific careers and how to begin their career in that field. This may be through one of four tracks, or may even encompass more than one: Employment, Enlistment, Education, and/or Entrepreneurship. Once this is identified, they will learn how to set goals that match their occupational targets and evolve their passions to transferable skills that will aid in their path to success.
How will you PREPARE? Here we go!
