Planning a Vocational or Technical Career

There are many paths towards a successful and rewarding career. Some students decide to attend college and some students pursue careers that don’t require a college degree. Instead, they opt into the military, obtain a vocational certification, or enter the workforce directly after high school. Each of these career options is equally important in our society today.

In this activity, you’ll learn about careers you can pursue right out of high school, and be able to consider if any might be a good fit for you, based on your skills and interests.
