Discovering Careers

Discovering Careers provides students with the opportunity to begin career exploration as young adults. Students will discover their personal goals, interests, and aptitudes as related to career concepts. Technology skills will be developed as well as personal skills, decision-making skills, and employability skills.

Discovering Careers challenges students to begin to determine what they want and expect for their future. Opportunities are presented to research careers using the 16 national career clusters, as established by the States' Career Clusters Initiative, to help define future goals. As part of the learning process, awareness will be gained of the educational and training requirements that are needed for various careers and occupations. Traditional careers and nontraditional careers will also be studied. Discovering Careers is the first step toward preparing students to make the most of their study time and learn how to prepare for the future.
