Exploring Careers

Whether the kids in your life are teens or younger, it’s never too early to start exploring career options! While not all careers offer clear examples of what the day-to-day looks like, one way to learn what a young person might be interested in is by exploring their passions.

A great way to begin this process is by looking at the learning opportunities in your area. Most communities have some great places to visit while encouraging summer fun and learning. For older youth, start having conversations around goal-setting to help them plan for a future of possibilities!

Share more about what you do for a living and how you chose that path with the young people in your life. Offer the possibility of shadowing someone in their field of interest or schedule them a college tour! Check out this great resource on how to help young individuals choose a career.
