INVESTIGATING YOUR CAREER, 3E offers students an opportunity to direct their attention toward an area of interest that might develop into a career path while also identifying high school and college course offerings related to their career choices. This career exploration text uniquely focuses on the student’s individual PATH to success: their Passions, Attitude, Talents, and Heart, as career possibilities are explored. By choosing a career based on what they want to do, students develop the ability to make informed decisions about their future, are more excited about learning, and are more motivated to stay in school. INVESTIGATING YOUR CAREER, 3E has been revised to include social networking, personal finance, blog activities, math and financial information, and additional coverage on the 16 Career Clusters. This text takes career exploration to a new level and is the perfect solution for states that now require/recommend a semester length middle school/junior high career course before graduating students. Focusing education on the future, the U.S. Office of Education has grouped careers into 16 clusters based on similar job characteristics. Every chapter in INVESTIGATING YOUR CAREER, 3E includes detailed information on a career cluster allowing students to learn about the various career options available to them. The career cluster approach makes it easier for students to understand the relevance of their required courses and helps them select their elective courses more wisely.
