Student Account Set-Up Then Career Choices teachers create accounts for their students limited by the quota set by their school site executive. Student accounts can be created manually one at a time or created through an import function available to the school site executive.

Pre-/Post-Survey Career Choices teachers have the option to enable the online pre-course survey, which students take within the first week of class. The post-survey, re-taken at the end of the course, provides data to measure how the class influenced students’ attitudes about high school, post-secondary education, and their future career and lifestyle goals. These options are set when student accounts are initially created.
