Why Career Exploration in Middle School Matters
  • The most interesting topic to a teen is
    themselves
  • Having an idea of the field they are both
    interested and naturally inclined towards in
    middle school gives them time to research and
    follow the best path in high school
  • Builds intrinsic motivation for high school and
    post-secondary success
  • Gives a connection point to parents and
    counselors for academic counseling
  • Its fun!
