Investigating Careers
This project-based class introduces students to 16 Career Clusters ranging from architecture and business to aviation and “Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math” (STEAM) interests. Students will design and create authentic products while investigating skill & education requirements, compensation, and projected growth for particular career fields. As students work on class and individual learning projects, they will develop transferable job skills in digital media, communication, problem solving, team-work, and project management.

We are a Project-Based Engaged Learning Environment. Here are some excerpts of thoughts by our students...
Eriq P. - "I think I have a 'Growth Mindset' because I want to expand my learnings and to find out different ways to fix things and to figure things out. It is working out fine because I have learned things that I have not known and I am still looking forward to learning more... I intend to learn about about more different things and let my life follow the path until college where I will choose even more to learn.
Gabriel P. - "I think that the key ingredient is hard work and determination because if you ut effort into what you're working on, then you will feel proud of yourself for accomplishing your task or goal."
Jose V. - "... exceptional achievement is determination and being focused... I have a mindset of just hearing and watching to learn. My mindset can be very hard working at time and sometimes it refuses to work with me."

Investigating 16 Career Clusters and career opportunities dependent on personal interest areas is important for this group. They learn how career choices impact the balance between personal and professional responsibilities while having fun as they research and learn about emerging fields in their personal interest areas.
