There’s no better way to explore a career than through the eyes of an insider. That’s why the Consortium for Public Education launched Career Journeys, a series of video interviews with people in occupations spanning 16 career clusters that the U.S. Department of Labor established to track employment trends. Guests in each Career Journeys video answer questions that students investigating careers would ask during any job-shadow opportunity, including:
how they became interested in their fields
what skills make them especially suited for their work
what advice they'd give to interested students
what they love about their jobs and even what they don't like so much

Categories for the interviews are broad, taking in multiple industries and many careers. Some jobs straddle more than one, so it’s worthwhile to just browse the library. The Career Journeys video library is expanding regularly, so check back often. Adults using these resources to help students explore careers may find it helpful to use the Career Journeys Supplemental Materials that have been prepared for teachers and counselors.
