Description

There is a strong need for Career Cruising in our alternative education programs as it makes career exploration activities accessible and engaging for students at all levels.

Career Cruising is a very user friendly tool for career exploration activities. Career Matchmaker and Career Selector help students investigate careers that match with their interests and priorities. The data base of careers is full of current information that allows students to delve deeper into the specifics of thousands of careers and the education and training necessary to enter these fields. There is also portfolio tool for students to keep track of all of their information.

 Career Cruising is required for all Seniors at Sierra High and Coldstream  as well as underclassmen in our Public Safety pathway class and Placer Community School.  Career Cruising is available online for all students, staff and families of these programs.

This is implemented by career adviser Karen Honeywell, during Monday senior advisory.  In the Public Safety class at Sierra High, Career Cruising is being used to explore careers specific to the public safety pathway. Generally students take the Career Matchmaker interest inventory and then after checking out some of the careers that showed up on the list, they choose 2 to compare and present that information in worksheet format.

At Placer Community School Karen Honeywell visits the school and works directly with all students to explore their interests.
