Career Exploration Resources

There are two brilliant new additions to the career exploration toolkit. Both resources are based in Southwest PA -- offering relevant local information about career exploration. The Future is Mine is a project of the Mon Valley Education Consortium. Their website is serving as a very practical resource for schools participating in yearlong career education activities. Many of the pages are designed to give students the chance to ask questions. It will be interesting to watch those message boards come to life! Also, the Jewish Healthcare Foundation's Health Careers Futures site has gone live. Like MVEC's site, this also offers outstanding resources for students, teachers and parents. I'm a big fan of their health careers toolkit -- the toolkit provides testimonials from people in health careers, maps of career pathways and practical information about how to pursue relevant education and training to meet one's career goals.
