Career Exploration
Career Exploration is simply learning about various occupations and their "fit" with your unique career preferences, such as the skills, interests and values you want to satisfy with your career.
Gaining Career Clarity
Careers are organized by Career Clusters, which contain occupations in the same field of work that require similar skills. Students, parents, and educators can use Career Clusters to help focus education plans towards obtaining the necessary knowledge, competencies, and training for success in a particular career pathway.
