Career Exploration

Pathful Explorer is an online program that bridges workforce realities directly into education, providing meaningful career exploration. Students can explore hundreds of engaging day-in-the-life job shadowing videos of real people in real jobs.

With an internship at a local business, students are able to explore their career interests with assistance provided by businesses that have partnered with BOCES. Students are given the opportunity to work directly with a business mentor and have a hands-on experience in their career choices based on their interests.

Job shadowing allows for students to explore a career by following an employee at a specific workplace and learn about the occupation or career pathway they are interested in. This can help students get a literal example of what their job would entail and to ensure that they are going down the right track.
