Careers 2 Communities

Career Awareness

Giving students clear and accurate information about local job opportunities can help students learn about careers and consider a career pathway that aligns with the local/regional needs of area employers. 

The P2C learning platform provides comprehensive career exploration tools. Career exploration is taught by introducing a step-by-step progression of career awareness, understanding and planning. 

Connect learning to careers with robust career exploration resources that deliver relevant state-specific career data.
