Career Strategies consists of an in-depth study of career clusters and sub-clusters through a variety of investigative activities. Students analyze career assessment results, compare educational options, and develop or revise a plan related to their academic and career goals. The course integrates the 5 Cs (Critical Thinking, Creative Thinking, Collaboration, Communication, and Citizenship Skills) and the 3E Readiness Framework, helping students identify and demonstrate the workplace skills that employers desire in their future employees. Students will learn about high-quality work-based learning (HQWBL) experiences that may provide learning opportunities aligned with students' career goals and/or interests, integrated with instruction, and performed in partnership with local businesses and organizations.
