Lesson 2: Career Clusters Survey
About This Lesson: This lesson introduces students to career exploration through the use of a Career Cluster Interest Survey designed to help them identify personal interests and connect those interests to potential career paths. By thoughtfully completing the survey, analyzing their results, and identifying their top three career clusters, students gain a clearer understanding of how their preferences, skills, and strengths relate to different sectors of the economy. The lesson emphasizes the importance of self-assessment, reflection, and honest engagement in the career planning process. Through guided instruction, independent work, and reflective writing, students develop self-awareness and begin to make informed decisions about future educational and career goals.
