Career Exploration

Not sure what you really want to do? Click on The MAP career exploration tool icon to help out!  

My Academic Plan (MAP) is a career exploration and decision making system created by Iowa State University for Iowa’s middle and high school students.

MAP guides you through a series of steps which allow you to:

• 1. Identify your own unique interests, work values, and skills through simple online inventories.

  2. Explore career options which best match your interests, work values, and skills.

  3. Plan your high school course schedule with your career goals in mind.

  4. Explore college majors or training programs which prepare you for your intended career, and then identify a college or training program which best fits you.
