Welcome to Career Orientation!
Course Description: Career Orientation is a foundation course that uses hands-on activities and research, providing an opportunity for exploring career clusters. It is the point at which educational development begins with the establishment of individual career plans. This course is required by eighth graders in the Somewhere Public School District and is offered first and second semester.
Career Orientation helps students to learn about themselves, so that they may be better prepared to choose a career. By exploring likes, dislikes, skills, abilities, aptitudes, and career interest inventories and research, students will begin their career selection process. It is just as important to know the careers that we would not like to have, as it is to know those that we might be interested in exploring. Career Orientation is an adventure!
