Engaged in School
and Career Ready
Student Centered Career Readiness
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 those goals.
Plan development requires an understanding of:
• Who Am I?
• Where Am I Going?
• How Do I Get There?
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.
