Charting Career and Education Pathways


Abstract: Every high school senior faces the same fateful question: "What am I going to do after graduation?" More questions may follow such as, "What do I want to do for a living? How do I get started in that career? Can I afford any more school?" Asking the right questions and finding the answers is important not just for that student. A growing, productive economy needs people who are willing and able to invest in their career development and whose skills line up with the needs of the job market.
