Career Connections

Here’s your opportunity to job shadow at a real job in a field of interest or to become aware of training and careers in high-growth industries. During your week-long session we will also explore higher education options, career exploration and learn job-seeking skills. Objectives and activities are aligned with Alaska Content Standards.

Sessions 1 and 3:  Career Connections for 9th – 12th graders is focused on career awareness. Session speakers and field trips are based on Alaska’s high growth industries.  Students use on-line tools and group activities to focus on career exploration, job-seeking and job-keeping skills.

Sessions 2 and 4: Career Connections for 11th – 12th graders emphasizes job shadowing for students who are comfortable in the adult workplace.  Part of the week is spent job shadowing in a field of interest. Session speakers and field trips may be based on the high growth emphasis of the session and career interest of the students.
