Websites for Kids to Explore their Careers

These websites have been so helpful as I work with my students on careers. Hopefully you will find them helpful as well.

CareerSmarts Youtube Playlist of Careers: Thank you School Counseling by Heart! She has compiled several video clips of occupations into one easy playlist for students to explore immediately.

Career View
A great site that helps kids explore their careers based on their interests, subjects they like in school, or the career clusters. After a few simple questions the students are able to see a list of all the jobs that may interest them.

Career One-stop: This is a great site for my older students. It allows them to type in the job they are looking for and provides a lot of information. It gives way more information than my students really need at this stage; however it's an excellent site!

Paws in Pawland
This is a great site for my K-2 students. It has them answer a few basic questions, and then provides view of Pawland with only the career clusters that they would work well in.

Why did the author probably write this text? Is there a lesson we can learn from it? What is the difference between Sneetches with stars and those without? **adapted from CPalms
