Fostering Elementary Career Exploration with an Interactive, Technology-Based Career Development Unit
Edwin, Mary; Prescod, Diandra
Journal of School Counseling, v16 n13 2018
Career development is a lifelong process that begins in childhood and has been linked to student success in other aspects of their development in childhood and adulthood (Blackhurst, Auger, & Wahl, 2003). This article presents a fifth-grade technology-based career development curriculum that engages students in a 10-week long exploration of interests, skills, college degrees and careers, and culminates with students creating career trifold display boards and presenting them to community members. School counselors can use this career exploration unit to support students' career development and to begin the lifelong process of preparing them for success in the world of work.
