What's Next? Exploring Careers, Choices, and Your Economic Future

Recommended Grades: 6-8

Description:

Help students connect who they are today with the possibilities ahead. Through hands-on activities, students explore their interests and potential career paths, use the PACED Decision-Making Model to evaluate career choices, and strengthen communication and teamwork skills. Students consider the decisions and trade-offs involved in planning for their future while making connections between education, careers and their economic lives. A vision board activity allows students to bring their goals together and picture what their own future could look like.
