The Case For Starting Career Exploration As Early As Middle School

As students mature and their career interests shift, our education systems have the potential to do more. A recent Forbes article revealed that, in a recent study from Strada Education Foundation and Burning Glass Institute, half of college graduates end up working in jobs that don’t use their degree. This ignited the conversation that providing career exploration earlier and making it fun and engaging could change that.

By offering earlier opportunities for career exploration and fostering social-emotional learning through a classroom-based curriculum like Building a Bridge to Your Future, and then following that type of experience with a comprehensive guidance and forward-focused planning course like the Career Choices series, we can better equip students to become fulfilled, economically successful adults.
