 We want students to explore their interests and begin to connect those interests in order to build post-secondary plans/goals! Examples:

 College Planning ◦ Explore college majors ◦ Search colleges ◦ Application process ◦ Scholarship/financial aid resources ◦ Compare GPA, standardized test scores, and other statistics to actual historical data from our school for students who have applied and been admitted in the past ◦ Prepare for the PSAT and ACT exams  Career Planning ◦ Research careers and career clusters ◦ Complete career assessments  Create plans for the future ◦ Complete tasks assigned by the school to better prepare students for future career and college goals ◦ Create a résumé ◦ View college visits/career fairs and sign up ◦ Explore Military options for those interested

 Go to “My Planner” Then “Tasks assigned to me”. Complete the Career Interest Profiler by October 1 st, which is the next time we will come in to your classroom
