Engaged in School and Career Ready
Student Centered Career Readiness
Plan development requires an understanding of:• Who Am I?• Where Am I Going?• How Do I Get There?
Being career ready means, in part, that a high school graduate has a viable postsecondary plan with, at least initial occupational goals, and understands the steps necessary to achieve them.
Engaged Imaginations
Einstein said:
“imagination is more important
than information or knowledge,”
Information is essential, but insufficient.
When we can visualize ourselves in appealing future scenarios (vacation, career…), a spark is ignited.
We become purposeful and intentional in the present to create the future we want.
