Library / Career Exploration

Class overview

Career Exploration is a course designed to reinforce previous career awareness and strategically explore a wide range of career options through:

(a) engaging in self-reflection and intentional goal setting by using a career assessment tool;
(b) analyzing academic strengths and progress;
(c) researching postsecondary options and the requirements for various career sectors; and
(d) identifying coursework, extracurricular activities, and experiences that can support career exploration. 

Upon completion of this course, proficient students will use their strengths and skills to set meaningful academic and career goals; articulate careers that align with their strengths and academic background or plans; and discover ways to explore various career options in their community. 

Students will also demonstrate soft skills (e.g., teamwork, self-advocacy, and effective communication), alongside technical skills (e.g., time management and goal creation), to practice critical skills needed in the workplace.
