Exploring Careers 

 

Below are a variety of activities and informative resources that can be used to spark interests in future careers.

Use electives in high school and career shadowing/internships to explore careers while you are in school. Read about Hoosier Hot 50 Jobs to see some of the fastest growing fields in Indiana.

There are also many electronic tools to help match interests to careers. A good, quick activity to start with is the Career Interest Checklist that takes about five minutes to complete. For more in-depth experiences, try Career Voyages and Drive of Your Life.
