This is a great year to start considering what your career interests are. Guidance will be implementing the second part of the IC Road to Success program, begun freshman year, allowing all of our 10th grade students to continue to look into their areas of interest and the careers behind them. These activities are aimed to help each student with their post-secondary-school planning.
Additionally, our 10th grade students will complete the Road to Success Career Shadow Experience Project. The CSE Project asks each student to interview a professional from a career path of their choosing. The interviews can be done in person, on the phone, or by email. Students are encouraged to ask their professional if they are available for shadowing, which may be done at the student's and professional's discretion. This important project allows our 10th grade students to broaden their understanding of their interests and long term goals.
Some tips to consider when looking into your career interests:
1) What do you like to do in your free time?
2) What classes are you most excited to learn from?
3) What are your strengths? For example, do you like working with others? Do you shine on
the stage or do you prefer not to enter a career that requires significant public speaking?
