Career Investigation Phase I 9070 (co-op not available)

Suggested Grade Levels: 6 or 7 or 8 or 9 or 10 or 11 or 12 (36 weeks)

Phase I prepares students to be "career investigators." To obtain the title, students must assess their roles in society, identify their roles as workers, analyze their personal assets, complete a basic exploration of career clusters and select career fields or occupations for further study, and secure a career investigator (job shadowing) position with a local employer.

Please note that the terms Career Families, Career Areas, and Career Roles are the old terms. The new terms are Career Clusters, Pathways, and Occupations. They have been changed in the task list but not in the framework at this point. The frameworks will be updated to reflect the new terminology.

Note: Career Investigation Phase I may be offered as a complement to an existing concentration sequence in any CTE program area. In some instances, where noted, it may be combined with specific courses to create concentration sequences.
