Pioneer Pathways - February 18

All students participating in Career and College Readiness Activities on January 21st.

7th  grade -  Students explored careers by region (where the highest demand is for certain jobs), by Career Cluster, and by popular careers that are growing quickly.  Students selected their favorite careers.  Talk to your student about what their favorites were and where they were located.

 8th grade - Students learned about 4 of 16 Career Clusters; including Hospitality and Tourism; Human Services; Information Technology; and Law, Public Safety, Corrections, and Security.  Talk with your student about what they learned about these Clusters.  What did they like (or not) about each of these areas?  

9th  & 10th grade - Students updated their profiles and resumes.  Talk to your student about what they added to their resume and why.  Talk to them about the importance of tracking experiences to provide evidence of their skills and achievements when headed into a job.

11th grade - Students completed modules about how to hunt for jobs, create a resume, create a cover letter, market themselves, have an online profile, interview, practice interviewing, and negotiat salary.  Talk to your student about any tips they picked up from the videos and what wonderings they still have after this unit.

12th grade - Students completed a Would You Rather Assessment.  This assessment measures student's preferences, hobbies, and personality traits to map them to potential career clusters and skills sets.  As seniors, we want to really hone in and make sure they are self-aware of these preferences and skills.  Talk to your student about what career clusters and skills sets were identified through the assessment.  Do they feel it's accurate?  Does it align with what your student has planned for their steps after high school?

📆The following dates will run a Pioneer Time Schedule this year for Pioneer Pathways: March 18, & May 20.
