Career Planning for High School Students
Career Management Essentials
This is the only step-by-step career planning system for high school students, their parents, and teachers that is geared toward career satisfaction, degree utilization, employment after graduation, minimum student debt, and no student loan defaulting.
The CME strategy consists of a series of steps arranged in a flow chart (CME Job Aid). Each step poses a question that students and parents work on together to answer. The information gained about a potential employer's specific requirements will lead to proactively selecting high school classes, majors, and extracurricular activities, and to also identify a subject matter expert helper. These are the professionals in the field of choice who will help guide the student and parents through the actions they need to take to achieve the goals of full employment after graduation with a high level of career satisfaction and low level of debt.
