A career planning folder helps secondary students recognize and make choices concerning their interests, skills, and goals. Students record their progress annually on a series of charts. In the eighth and ninth grades, students list their school and community activities, their interests and hobbies, jobs or careers they have researched and found interesting, and the abilities needed to fulfill these jobs. In the tenth and eleventh grades, students continue to record job and career clusters interesting to them, and match the skills needed for these jobs with skills they possess or can acquire. In the twelfth grade, students describe their post-graduation plans. A tentative career planning chart is provided for students to enter their plans, problems, and discussions with parents. Additional charts record aptitude test and entrance exam grades, career counseling sessions, work experiences, references, and academic record for grades 8 through 12. (LP)
