My BluePRint task

Grade 8 and 9 Career ExPloration 

• Complete the Grade 7 Who am I task above if you have not done it.

• Prepare a Presentation: Focus on one or two specific careers within the cluster. You may want to pick careers that you think are interesting or that other people may not be familiar with. Your presentation should cover:

• The kind of work or tasks people in the career perform

• The tools, instruments, or equipment they use

• Where they work 

• How much income they earn and factors that affect their income

• The education and/or training needed to get into the career

• Where to get more information on the career (e.g., helpful websites)

• What real people in the career have to say about it (what they like or dislike about the career, what advice they have for people who want to get into the career, etc.)

You should include visuals (ex: photos) to make the presentation more interesting.
