Career Exploration Resources for Middle and High School Students
Are you searching for meaningful ways to help students think about their future career options? Our career exploration resources can help make lesson planning easier for you! Our resource bundles include everything you need to get your students on the right track, including a resume writing template, personality, values, and interests assessment, dream job research worksheet, career vocabulary word search, and mock job interview activity.
Here are a few of our favorite career exploration resources:
Support your students with exploring their academic options with this college research template. Students will select a university and search for information about costs (tuition, room, board, etc.), scholarship and work study opportunities, application requirements, local community, on-campus housing options, campus life, and academics. After filling in the worksheet with their research findings, students will write a brief reflection about how their perspective of the university changed through the writing process.
Help your students learn tips for having a successful job interview and practice answering common questions with this mock interview guide. Students will complete the interview in pairs and write summaries of their partners' answers. This template is perfect for a career exploration unit. It can be used with middle and high school students.
With this resume rough draft template, students will practice listing their contact information, writing an objective statement, explaining their educational experiences, describing their employment history, and more. This template can be used for students in both middle school and high school.
⭐ Personality, Values, and Interests Assessment
Help your middle and high school students explore possibilities for their future careers by reflecting on the questions in this "What makes you...you?" guide. Students will respond to prompts about their closest relationships, academic passions, projects and accomplishments, interests, top values, personalities, and goals for their future salaries and lifestyles.
⭐ My Dream Job Career Research Guide
With this "My Dream Job" research guide, students will use the internet to learn about their dream job's average salary, skill requirements, and more. This activity is perfect for students in both middle school and high school.
⭐ Career Vocabulary Word Search
Review career vocabulary by having your students look for vocation-themed words in this word search activity. Deciphering this puzzle is a fun way to help students develop pattern recognition, improve memory, reinforce spelling, and build problem-solving skills. The words in this list include terms like: employer, promotion, resume, interview, salary, and more.
We hope these resources will lead to meaningful discussions with your students about their future options. We would love to hear feedback about your classroom experiences with these activities!
Have a wonderful week!
