Career Planning in High School 

What is career planning?

(4-Easy Steps)

Choosing a career is not a simple decision. In fact, it’s an ongoing process that changes as you learn more about yourself, the world of work, and the new skills you gain—even while you’re in the workforce. While you can expect your plans to evolve throughout time, there are four steps you can take right now to get you started on the right foot: assess, explore, research, and plan.  

Depending on your path, you may complete each step just once, or you may revisit the process to change direction and discover new career options.  Click on each step below to get started.
