YOUTH CAREER NAVIGATOR The Career Pathway Navigator is an intermediary to schools and employers. Provides support to both students and employers.   The students are supported through a continuum of career services including: career awareness, career exploration, and career preparation and training. Through these service students gain practical employability skills (soft skills: problem solving, communication, professionalism, teamwork, etc.) via job shadows, workplace tours, and guest speakers.

CAREER AWARENESS P L A N N I N G | F O U N D A T I O N | P R E P A R A T I O N Builds awareness of careers. Career exploration activities do not take place in workplaces and are not work-based learning, but provide a foundation for work-based learning and prepare participants to make the most of opportunities.
