CAREER Exploration
10th Grade
10th Grade
Career exploration helps students explore the working world, emphasizing the importance of discovering potential careers. Through coursework and hands-on projects, they learn about different occupations, the necessary education, and the prerequisites for success in specific career paths. This exploration aims to motivate students and guide their decision-making in high school and postsecondary education
A short-term educational experience that ranges in length from a half day to multiple days. It introduces a student or group of students to a specific job or career by pairing the student with an employee of a business, industry, or agency. By following or "shadowing" the employee, the student becomes familiar with the duties associated with that occupation, the physical setting of the occupation, and the compatibility of the occupation with his or her own career goals. There are formal programs for job shadowing offered nationally, state-wide, and locally.
The Mock Interview event provides students with an opportunity to demonstrate their employability skills and communication skills in a simulated mock interview environment. Our business partners, parents and community partners serve as interviewers and provide critical feedback to help our students master the art of interviewing.
