CAREER EXPLORATION AS A PROCESS
When guiding your homeschooled child through career exploration, you need to explore your teen’s strongest interests with them keeping their personality in mind. Most adults are happiest in career fields in which they have some natural talent so you need to encourage your homeschooler to participate in career assessments. You can also steer your homeschooler toward hobbies and volunteer work that align with their career aspirations. Involve them in competitions that can help steer your teen toward certain career fields for which they already show a high level of skill. You can also help them consider exploring career occupations outside the norm – from starting a small business to highly technical careers not well known. Explore professional organizations in a chosen career field and Investigate internships, apprenticeships, mentoring programs, or on-the-job training for teens. We would always suggest the parents have a plan. An education and experience plan will help your homeschooler reach designated career goals.
