Scaffolded career exploration delivers the right information at the right level at the right time.
Historically, career exploration educational models for career and college readiness too often begin “mid-stream,” by introducing students to career exploration later in high school. As a result, students with the most need are often playing catch-up and are unable to properly establish a career focus, understand what preparation is needed, and plan the necessary academic path to the career.
When students begin their career exploration early, they are given opportunities to explore job functions, industries, and careers to help them find interests and align classes with career pathways. It takes students on a journey of personal discovery, career awareness, and career evaluations.
