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.

School Counselor Brochure

After 8 years as a School Counselor I finally did it! I made a brochure for my parents! My hope is that parents will be able to see my roles in the school and utilize me in the best way possible. I want them to see me as resource, and not just a "Guidance Teacher." Hopefully you will find it helpful as you develop one for your parents.
