Career Development incorporates the following three steps:
Helping students learn about their own innate interests, abilities, and values
Helping students learn about the numerous career opportunities that exists in today’s world of work
Helping students make a good match, or find a good fit between steps 1 & 2
Our goal is to help students become productive citizens where they experience a sense of calling to their chosen career path, they enjoy their profession, and they can earn a living for themselves and their families. Career Development at SIMS is implemented through a coordinated effort between the Counseling and Guidance department and the CTAE (Career, Technical, and Agricultural Education) department. This involves Emily Lamar who teaches Business Information Technology and Lindsay Webb who teaches Technology Lab.
YouScience is an aptitude-based career tool to match students to their best fit career clusters, based on how their aptitudes and interests align with the CTAE pathways available. Students will use their Student Portal account to connect to YS via SLDS, located in the links under their picture. Please visit this website with your child/student and take a look at their work!
