We were so excited to host our second PC Career Cruise last week! Students got to hear from a variety of industry and community partners - a huge shout out to all of them for donating their time to come and share about what they do. The goal is to connect students to different career choices through the RIASEC themes. If you have a 6th, 7th, or 8th grader, ask them about which careers they found most or least interesting and which ones aligned to their RIASEC interest type.
Want to learn more about the RIASEC themes? Visit https://www.careerkey.org/.../holland-code-assessment-riasec
