Class overview
Career Exploration is an introductory course designed to assist students in (a) discovering their personal strengths and abilities, (b) understanding opportunities available to them in different career areas, and (c) practicing skills necessary to excel in the workforce and in postsecondary learning. A student proficient in this course will know and exhibit soft skills (e.g. teamwork, creative thinking, and problem solving), as well as more technical skills (e.g. resume building and written communications) related to career exploration and experience. Career exploration is a process of learning about oneself and the world of work, identifying potential careers, and developing a strategy for realizing education and career goals.
According to the South Carolina Department of Education, middle school guidance and counseling programs focus on the rapidly changing needs of young adolescents. It is especially sensitive to the struggles of middle school students for identity and for balancing the demands for academic, career, and social competencies. The programs begun at the elementary level are continued. However, they are adjusted to fit the special needs of the middle school students. In addition, counselors will work with the students to develop a four-year plan that covers graduation requirements. The plan will take into account students' interests as well as educational and occupational plans.
