This course is an opportunity to look at your own unique set of interests, aptitudes, skills, values and personality as they relate to this career exploration experience. The requirement for this particular credit is that you: determine your personal interests, abilities, values and personality type, you investigate three career clusters, and that you evaluate that experience as it relates to your own personal life goals and attributes. The work you do should be your own; it is your own personal profile that matters, not what you think others expect of you. Be honest in answering the questions and surveys and have fun exploring the wonderful world of careers.
