Welcome to the Career Speaker Series Podcast Hub!
This site is designed to help students explore career pathways through engaging podcasts and activities, all organized by career clusters for elementary, middle, and high school. Whether you’re an educator, volunteer, or student, you’ll find tools here to guide the journey from start to finish.
How to Get Started:
Check Out the Guides – Begin with the grade-level guides (elementary, middle, or high school) to see how the career clusters are organized and how to use the resources.
Download Activity Worksheets – Navigate to the pre-docs section to access activity sheets for use before and during the podcast. These activities spark curiosity, build connections, and prepare students for learning.
Watch Podcast Videos – Explore the podcast library to hear from professionals across different career clusters. Each video highlights real career journeys and insights to inspire students to think about future possibilities.
Complete the Post-Survey – Wrap up by reflecting on what was learned and sharing feedback. The post-survey helps students process their experience while also guiding program improvements.
By following these steps, students can discover new ideas, connect their learning to real-world opportunities, and imagine what’s possible for their own futures.
Thank you for being part of this journey to inspire and prepare the next generation of leaders!
