Career Exploration for Middle-Level Students is a foundational career exploration course that emphasizes introspective and experiential skills as students prepare for their future careers. It encourages students to think about their skills and interests, introduces them to different causes and challenges, exposes them to different career fields and industries, and helps them develop professional skills and materials needed for obtaining and maintaining a job. Throughout the course, students will also examine the role of ethics in career exploration.
Each instructional module in the series is comprised of a PowerPoint Presentation, Presentation Script, and Student Guide. Components of each module include a narrative, discussion questions, activities, online resources, a journal prompt, and an ethical dilemma. Educators may choose to use the modules individually or present them as a coordinated instructional series. These modules are designed to be easily integrated into any course. They are ideal for classroom use (both instructor-led and student-paced), but are also appropriate for alternative settings, such as homerooms, advisory periods, or student organizations.
