Welcome to Exploring Career Decisions
Mrs. Mabe
Room 304
Exploring Career Decisions is an 18 week course that allows students
to discover who they are and how to apply their skills in the
workplace for a successful career. Students will first research
themselves and be able to understand their interests, attitudes,
values, personality, learning styles and skills. Students will then
study how their interests, values, and personality influence career
choices. Students will be able to understand the world of work and
why it changes and the skills necessary for employment success.
During the final part of the course, students will understand how to
apply for a job, how to create a cover letter and résumé, and how to
interview for a job.
