Today we’re going to start exploring career pathways. A career pathway map helps students by providing a bridge from high school career components to the post-secondary options you just learned about such as the military, 2- or 4-year colleges, or working full time right after high school. Even though you aren’t in high school yet, it’s important to know what type of options you will have once you get to high school.
