Help your student figure out what education training or experience they might need after high school
|
|
We know that most careers today require some form of education or training after high school, but that doesn't mean that all students need a college degree to be successful.
Once your student has connected who they are to a career interest, it is important that he or she considers the different types of education or training opportunities available to start their journey. Our partners have made and pulled together some resources that will help your student investigate the type of training required for a career, as well as what is required for entry and success in those programs. Understanding all the options is important as we try to help your student understand what they will eventually be required to INVEST in the training program. |
These are from the ASK curriculum, which uses Indiana Career Explorer and will help with what type of training or experience works for your student.
