Career Exploration & Preparation

Career exploration is the process of learning about yourself and the world of work to make informed decisions about your future. It involves identifying your interests, strengths, and values, and then matching them with potential career paths. Through career and technical education courses, internships, and certificate programs students gain hands-on experience and can earn industry-recognized credentials – preparing them for their future careers.
