Dear Readers, According to our research, two-thirds of current high schoolers and graduates say they would have benefited from more career exploration in middle or high school. At ASA, we’ve done a lot of work to understand how kids can get connected to information about the available pathways that are out there — beyond college. We’ve invested a lot of time and energy to learn what really works in terms of getting kids playing an active role in planning their future. And one thing that consistently comes back is the reality that kids need to be engaged in their own spaces and on their own terms. Importantly, they need to have agency and be able to make informed choices.
Hi Jean, I have been there and felt like the student who wasn't sure about the career I wanted, and truly would have loved to have access to explore in middle and high school, before the pressures of senior year in high school and heading off to college arrived. I can't wait for my two kids to try this program out and will be sharing this with other parents I know.
