Career Planning

 

Career Planning/Exploration

  • Career planning is a process that involves students, parents, teachers, counselors, and the community. 

  • The goal is to help students make informed and thoughtful decisions about themselves and their future.                                                       

  • The planning process includes helping students develop and implement an individual career plan.  

  • CFNC and SchooLinks are valuable websites that offer career and interest inventories that assess a student’s interests, preferences, values, abilities, and talents to identify either general or specific careers.

  • In addition, students may further explore careers by participating in Web Research, Informational Interviews, Job Shadowing, Internships, Summer Programs, Part-time Jobs, and Volunteering Opportunities.
