CTAE Career Planning Guide

Beginning in elementary school and continuing through high school, students are exposed to a variety of career development activities to lead them towards making potential career decisions. While it is not expected that students know exactly what they want to be when entering high school, it is the hope that students have begun making some decisions that are guiding their education. The career development activities that students have been exposed to should serve as a good starting point when students begin to pick a pathway.

While it is required that students complete one pathway to graduate, most students will have the opportunity to complete two or possibly three pathways before graduation, providing multiple opportunities for students to explore their interests.

Pathways are offered at multiple locations and students should pay attention to the location of each course when choosing classes.
