See the free career exploration activities for high school students we've created to help students explore jobs and build career awareness.

The ASVAB Career Exploration Program (CEP) aspires to help educators prepare students for successful and fulfilling careers. We've recently partnered with We Are Teachers to create free resources for educators, regardless of program participation. Each engaging activity supports meaningful career exploration to help students learn about themselves and explore their post-secondary options.

Learn how these career decision-making activities will help unlock a world of possibilities for students and teachers alike.

1.) Why is career exploration important?

Career exploration for teens should build career awareness and post-secondary readiness. Understanding all career options is vital for informed decision-making, fostering self-discovery, and aligning education with future goals. It also builds transferable skills and reduces anxiety about what happens after graduation.

Moreover, understanding career options empowers teens to set realistic goals and confidently transition to adulthood.
Hear more about why career planning matters from We Are Teachers.
2.) Career exploration should be FUN!

The Wheel of Careers Exploration Activity makes career exploration an entertaining game show experience. The activity provides a unique spin-quite literally-on traditional career exploration.

Students randomly see various career options on the wheel. This prompts them to explore details about each career and consider professions they might not have explored otherwise. The element of surprise also encourages curiosity and expands students' awareness of the diverse array of career paths available.

By making career exploration enjoyable, this resource educates and inspires students to approach their future paths with enthusiasm and an open mind.

3.) Career Decision-Making Activities: Worksheets

FREE RESOURCES FOR TEACHERS

DOWNLOAD CAREER EXPLORATION WORKSHEETS

Through our partnership with We Are Teachers, the ASVAB CEP has created four no-cost worksheets you can download and use in your classroom.

You can download all worksheets in the Career Exploration Worksheet Bundle here.

WHAT DOES THE CAREER EXPLORATION WORKSHEET BUNDLE INCLUDE?

Worksheets help engage students in active participation, practice learned concepts, reiterate classroom guidance, structure ideas, and provide opportunities for self-assessment.

We've created these free resources for school counselors and other educators to augment their career exploration curriculum.

Career Exploration Worksheet

If your school participates in the ASVAB CEP, this worksheet is an ideal companion to the ASVAB CEP's OCCU-Find used to research different careers. The worksheet allows students to take notes on careers and how they align with their interests and work values. Plus, they can note the job's education and average salary.

Compare Post-Secondary Paths

This activity helps students compare careers and allows them to take the next step from considering a career to understanding possible paths to gain career-field entry. We encourage using this worksheet to assess financial, time, and personal commitments. Holistically considering each is important for students to realize their goals.

Career Planning Checklist for High School Students

The difference between a dream and reality is planning. The Post-Secondary Planning Checklist gives students a step-by-step guide to reaching their aspirations. Regardless of their path or career, this worksheet provides a success roadmap and prepares them for a bright future.

Résumé Tip Sheet & ASVAB CEP's Portfolio

We have up-to-date dos and don'ts for students to create a résumé that will stand out. For more comprehensive resume assistance, ASVAB CEP participants can also use the program's online Portfolio feature to document achievements and build a resume.

Using Career Exploration Activity Worksheets in the Classroom

In recent years, federal and state legislation has broadened to include career readiness and literacy as a critical benchmark for graduation eligibility. Starting in 2015, the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) requires an educational curriculum to prepare students for both college and their careers.

This reinforces that creating a comprehensive career exploration curriculum is essential for post-secondary success. The ASVAB CEP is designed to satisfy ESSA and state requirements . You can use the resources mentioned here as part of your school's career readiness curriculum or use them in combination with complete participation in the ASVAB CEP.

Here are some ways you could effectively use these free educational resources:

WHEEL OF CAREERS EXPLORATION ACTIVITY

This interactive activity can bring excitement and discovery into the classroom with the following ideas:

Use the Wheel of Careers as an engaging icebreaker on the first day of a career exploration unit. It sets a positive tone and sparks curiosity about the diverse world of careers.

After students spin the wheel, use the results to facilitate group discussions. Encourage them to share their thoughts on the careers that come up, promoting peer-to-peer learning and diverse perspectives.

Incorporate the Wheel of Careers into a classroom career day event. Students can explore different professions and discuss their findings, fostering a collaborative and interactive learning environment.

Assign students to spin the wheel at home and research the career the wheel lands on. This encourages independent exploration and allows students to bring their findings to class for discussion.

CAREER EXPLORATION WORKSHEETS BUNDLE

These worksheets provide a structured approach to career exploration. Teachers can integrate them into their curriculum in various ways:

Incorporate specific worksheets into lesson plans to reinforce concepts covered in class. For example, use the "Skills Inventory" worksheet after discussing transferable skills.

Assign worksheets as self-reflection activities. For instance, have students complete the "Interest Inventory" worksheet to identify their passions and align them with potential careers.

Use the worksheets as part of group projects. Students can collaborate on activities like creating a mock resume or conducting informational interviews, fostering teamwork and communication skills.

Encourage students to compile their completed worksheets into a career exploration portfolio. This ongoing project allows them to track their progress and provides a tangible resource for future reference.

What is Career Planning? Article

This article serves as a valuable educational resource for teachers and students alike. Below are some strategies to use in your classroom:

Use the article as a basis for a classroom discussion on the importance of career planning. Encourage students to share their thoughts and insights on the topic.

Assign students to read the article and write an essay or reflection on how career planning can impact their future choices. This promotes critical thinking and application of concepts.

If a career planning expert or counselor visits the class, use the article as a follow-up discussion piece. Relate the article's insights to the information shared by the guest speaker.

Integrate the article into a broader career planning unit. Discuss key concepts from the article alongside other resources to comprehensively understand the topic.
