In 10th Grade, students will take a Career Interest Inventory called the ONET Interest Profiler. This is a tool to help match student interests with careers/occupations. Students complete a 60 question online interest inventory which scores automatically upon completion. The results give you a score for six different occupational types/"codes":
Realistic (R)
Investigative (I)
Artistic (A)
Social (S)
Enterprising (E)
Conventional (C)
Taking the top three scores ("Summary Codes"), students can find the occupations that match their interests.
Tenth graders will also complete an occupation outline by researching an occupation from the Occupational Outlook Handbook website. Topics to explore include:
- Nature of the Work/What do you do?
- Working Conditions/Work Environment
- Education & Training/Level of Education
High School Courses Needed?
- Job Outlook/Employment Potential
- Salary & Earnings
- Related Occupations
- Sources for Additional Information
Tenth graders will also learn how to navigate Career and College websites.
