Help your student figure out what's out there after high school that aligns with what they're good at
|

Self-discovery is the basis of our work to help students understand what they are good at and how they can get paid for it.
In a world where the work itself changes faster than we can help teach our students about careers, it is so important that we help your student learn how to translate their own strengths, talents and interests into meaningful careers or career paths. Our partners have made and pulled together a number of resources to help your student connect personal motivations and assets with career pathways. Once we've helped your student make these connections, we can begin helping them SELECT the training, education, or direct placement that aligns with who they are. |
These are from the ASK curriculum, which uses Indiana Career Explorer. They'll help figure out what's out there based on what your student is good at.
