High School
In the high school years – especially in your freshman and
sophomore years – you should be closing in on a decision about the cluster of
occupations you are likely to enter, which high school courses would be most
beneficial for you, and what kind of education or training you will pursue
after high school. In order to accomplish these tasks, we suggest that you do
the following:
-
Take the interest assessment (Kuder® Career Search with Person Match), the
skills inventory (Kuder Skills Assessment), and print out the Composite Report
from these two. You might want to discuss this report with your parents and
your counselor.
-
Explore careers to
find a list of occupations in the clusters of your highest interest and/or
skill and to get detailed information about them.
-
Take the values inventory (Super’s Work Values Inventory-revised) to help you
identify your personal values so you can remove occupations from your list that
will not help you attain your values.
-
Develop a four-year
high school plan that will prepare you for work in your selected cluster(s).
-
Based on your favorite occupations, develop a plan for education or training
after high school. If appropriate,
select from among the available
career-technology schools or colleges.
Determine what your
major should be in order to be best prepared for your future occupation.
