   • Includes personality assessments, career exploration, academic planning, scholarship searches, postsecondary exploration and career readiness resources.

   • Navigate to: CHS homepage – Students – Student Resources – Classlink Launchpad – Academic and Career Planning – SchooLinks

2. List your options  - After gathering all information, narrow things down by considering your current field of interest, education, earned certifications and desired career path

3. Look for overlap  - Take time to consider what you’re good at, what companies need, your personal values, and what you enjoy

4. Network! - This is a great way to gauge what a particular work environment is like and how people who are already in the field enjoy their work.

5. Ask a mentor - 85% of jobs are filled through networking! Never underestimate the value of a good mentor.
